Knock at the Gate

 

Born over a bonfire and fueled by works of Shakespeare and science, Knock at the Gate builds 3D audio experiences designed for the dark and a pair of headphones, with the goal of providing meaningful creative collaboration for theater and filmmakers around the world, fostering unique connections between artists and audiences in this brave new post-pandemic landscape, and exploring the boundaries of immersion, resonance and access through the power of sound alone.

Since launching in late 2020, Knock at the Gate's critically acclaimed audio projects have streamed to thousands of listeners around the world and been featured in The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, American Theater Magazine, NPR, and on Good Day New York.

In Fall 2021, the company led its first educational residency at Emory University bringing students and professional artists together in an exploration of Shakespeare and virtual audio production. To date Knock at the Gate projects have raised nearly $15,000 for The Entertainment Community Fund, a national services organization for arts workers in need.
