Interdisciplinary Arts 0350 - Theatrical Production Processe

Using MONEY PLAY, devised and written during Fall 2014, as our main vehicle of investigation, students are introduced to the processes of theatrical production. This class will examine the collaborative nature of theatrical arts by working in concert with "Ensemble Production" IA0324 creating and executing the production and run of MONEY PLAY. Mentored by Division III and Division II Theatre Designers, students will participate in the design and construction of scenery, costumes, and props. Students may also explore, depending on the needs of the play, sound and video projection design and execution. This class not only offers students experience in designing and building the visual and aural elements of the production, but also offers them the opportunity to participate on the running crew during the performances. Each student will become a part of the entire production experience. Students will be expected to commit to evening hours during the performance dates.

Quantitative Skills Independent Work In this course, students are expected to spend five to six hours a week of preparation outside of class time. During Tech/Dress Rehearsals and Performances the time commitment averages four hours per night.
