Interdisciplinary Arts 0230 - Setting the Stage

There are processes designers in the theatre must undertake to realize the physical world of a play. Moving through a series of individual and group exercises, students will begin to develop their own process toward expressing the passion of a theatre work through their designs. Throughout the semester students will develop a design vocabulary that allows for collaboration and interplay, while producing unified and coherent design work. This semester particular emphasis will be placed on scenic and costume design as students learn to communicate their design concepts using the tools of design: drafting, model building, and rendering.
