Birmingham Radio Theatre Company Audio Theatre Workshop 2001 |
|
The Birmingham Radio Theatre Company held a one-day workshop on producing
radio / audio drama on June 14, hosted by Miriam Hipp of the Company. The
focus of the workshop was on the use of audio drama by teachers as an
economical method for teaching writing and other creative skills in a period
of declining budgets. Audio productions also allow students to concentrate
on character development instead of on memorizing lines or stage-blocking.
Guest instructors were Thomas E. Fuller, Head Writer for the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company, and Henry Howard, Audio Producer of ARTC. A highlight of the workshop was a half-hour teleconference with OTR great, Norman Corwin. Topics covered included:
* A Brief History of Radio Theatre -- From Old-Time Radio to Modern Audio
