This is not the current course catalog
Class Details
This course examines the designer’s creative process and collaborative role in the creation of theater. Over a series of practical projects in scenic, costume, and lighting design we will try different techniques for eliciting an initial creative response to a text, developing that response into a point-of-view, and solving the practical needs of the production. A particular emphasis will be placed on how design elements synthesize with one another, with the work of the actors and director, and with the larger intellectual, emotional, and physical context of the production as a whole. Basic presentation skills and technique, as well as methodologies for critical feedback, will be taught as crucial elements of design development.
