What is this?

Welcome to the official blog for the Speaking of Silence performance project This site is a place to share your stories and thoughts about silence and to engage in a dialogue with other interested writers, artists, thinkers, activists, and people around the world on the subject of silence and the power it has in shaping who we are and how we relate to the world.

Every few days or so, I will be posting a provocative question or quote to generate more thought and responses from you. You may respond to the quote or let it be a springboard to other stories you'd like to tell in the comments section You may also submit a story unrelated to the current Post Question by hitting the comment bar.

So share! Nothing is too small or too big. And you can share as often as you like. I am hopeful that this becomes a really dynamic space for people to visit every few days.

Silent Movies


Love 'em? Hate 'em? Favorites? Why?
(FYI, the image above is from the gorgeous silent film, "The Passion of Joan of Arc". Click on the words "Silent Movies" for a wonderful database of silent cinema.)

What about the use of silence in the "modern" cinema? How about any scenes in which there is neither dialogue or music? Do you find the sound design of current popular cinema overwhelming or exciting? Why?
