Sound, Body, and Feeling: Sound Design and Acting in the Work of SITI Company is a theorization of the relationship between sound design and acting in the work of New York City-based theater group SITI Company. Theater sound, both live and recorded, encompasses sound "effects," music or sound used as "soundtrack," actors' voices, noises made by the movement of bodies or objects on stage, and includes the uncontrollable sonic content of the performing environment. Focusing on the body and feeling, sound's most significant contribution to theater performance is found in its affective functioning to create social experience. Through ethnography, archival research, and critical analysis, three cases are examined: SITI Company's Suzuki and Viewpoints training and their productions Radio Macbeth and Under Construction. I draw on recent theater sound scholarship that conceptualizes sound as dramaturgy, as well as from Deleuze, Barthes, and Peirce to consider several different approaches to understanding the affective effects of sound's immediacy in the theater.
