Sonic Theatre - MFB -The Approach
We're co-evolving an approach for those who are blind/visually-challenged to produce, write, act in, and perform ALL necessary functions for the production of Sonic Theatre/MFB, and all electronically distributed forms of performing in audio distribution.
And we're doing this with attention directed towards an evolution of the necessary training - based on the exploration of what we learn by doing. This is not a theory-first approach, but a learning from the environment & discovered in the process. As we do this, we'll also pay attention to learning how to do this generate an income stream for practitioners. Creative rights are to reside with those who do the creating within the revitalized medium. As we create intellectual property we attach rights to those who create to the property. This will become, in addition to an expanding art form, a community of exploration.
We are sharing our idea with producers all over the world. Check back for our 2021 launch. In our OmniArtist project, which began in Denver & Boulder, Colorodo, we opened the path to a Trilogy of Books that are currently being developed as Movies In The Mind. Prroduction will occur in multi-links for release all over the world. We can do it all - audio was built for such a time - welcome to MFB.

Sonic Theatre- The Series
I'm working now on a Radio/Audio-Podcast Series that will give sonic expression to some of these ideas - and believe that everyone will find that, as the investigation continues, many ideas will leap into the world - all relating to our different life-experiences.
In Sonic Theatre, a geography of the mind, the field is wide open, and what may be achieved within the new technology is amazing.
There is no story that Radio drama cannot do as well as Visual drama. The roots of what is being transmitted and are based on the older tradition of drama told in the dark through sound.
The why of this exists in a new art form that's now-new because of the manner in which it is finding its way back to front stage, and because of the way that the GRS Project will weave three main strings together - His Artistry, his Therapeutic approach in all areas of life, and his work with those visually challenged.
Gary' therapeutic area is the natural area for drama and for comedy - it's where we go to empathize with what others think, feel, touch, perceive and then to connect in the ways that therapy, at its best, does - to connect and throw light not only on the subject - but on the light itself.

Sonic Theatre - The GRS Project
The GRS Project:
In memory of our friend Gary R. Snyder. The Sonic Theatre approach is key to to the foundation that's being formed to remember Gary and his work in a project that would have been close to his heart. Gary was a gifted therapist as well as Educator with the visually challenged, and this project will begin the evolution of a Sonic Theatre project for the Blind. We're working now to establish the process, and work with the community to help establish this. More on this later, and we'll keep you up to date about our sonic productions.
