180B - DESIGN
Research
Working with guest designers, or as a designer yourself, your research in costumes, scenery or lighting will be the foundation of the physical production seen onstage. Costume designers and their assistants work with fabrics, stock items and provide needed visuals for the shop staff and students to work from. In scenery, the student designer or assistant designer provides visuals of furniture and architectural styles, as well as preliminary sketches and drawings. In lighting, the designer and assistants gather materials from costumes and scenery and provide images to illuminate the complete production design.

Creation
You’ll create mock ups, floor plans and detailed drawings, instrument plots and inventories, channel sheets and charts and provide the Costume, Scenic and Lighting shops with the materials they need to purchase, build and acquire the necessary pieces that create the performance environment.
|
Implementation
And then, you will work side by side with the designer through production meetings, fittings and final drawings, into technical rehearsals up to opening night. You literally will see the physical production from its beginning stages through to completion. This Theatre and Dance course is a great companion experience for our fellow arts students in Design, Cinema and Digital Media, and Art Studio.
