Interdisciplinary Arts 0225 - Storytelling, Technical Theatr

In the course, students will explore the art of ensemble through the exploration of technical theatre - from the sculpting of stage space through lighting design to holding the rhythm of a play through the role of the stage manager. Learning will take place in the classroom, where you will read and discuss plays and historical texts, as well as in the theatre spaces, where you will create ensemble-based, creative projects that are inspired by your stories. The class will be bolstered by Div II and Div III students who are exploring theatrical design and production and who will visit the class to share their skills and stories, in support of your learning. It is designed as an introduction to the student-led, interdisciplinary nature of Hampshire theatre.
