Film & Theatre Composition.

Where does the music end and the picture begin? A three-hour workshop with Mehran Mirmiri on music for film, theatre and series.

Studio with synthesizer: Film & Theatre Composition workshop at Music Campus Berlin

This three-hour workshop offers a hands-on introduction to composing for film and theatre. We explore how sound shapes emotion, rhythm and storytelling across very different visual formats. From silence and atmosphere to working with ambient sounds and samples, participants develop a feel for the principle of “right time, right place” that guides all good film and stage music.

We look at how narrative structure changes the role of music, whether in a short film, feature film, series or live performance, and work through real examples from cinema and theatre together. The workshop is aimed at musicians, filmmakers, actors, directors and anyone who is curious. You don't need any composing experience: just bring your ears and your curiosity. The workshop is held in English.
