beat: (noun) the smallest unit of action in a scene; a shift in the action, thought, or emotion of the actor(s).
beat: (noun) the basic unit of time in music, the pulse (regularly repeating event), of the mensural level.
Beat is a show served in two parts, these parts playing consecutively over two weeks.
Part 1 explores silence as an essential element of drama and a by-product of human communication - does silence speak louder than words? How do humans communicate and miscommunicate? Does silence carry across culture?
Part 2 is a cacophony of noise: boisterous, rude, fantastic. Noise and sound are inherent to everyday life - it exhausts and invigorates.
Beat is SUDS’ annual compilation show that offers you the freshest new talent from the society in binary shows featuring short student works, acted, directed and produced by students of the society.
See one, see both, see one of the biggest shows of the year.
