Theater 460 - Scene Design Studio

This advanced course will build on the foundations of scenic design practice covered in THEATER 360 (Intro to Set Design) such as dramaturgical and visual research, model building, drafting, budgeting, creative problem solving, flexibility of methods and solutions in pursuit of a vision in support of a performance event, and collaboration skills through actual production assignments in the department as well as several paper projects realized in 3-D model form. The course will feature in-class visits from directors and production staff in order to model the various collaborative relationships a designer is involved in, as well as several sessions co-taught with the lighting and costume design faculty to develop an understanding of the interconnectedness of the visual design disciplines. Attention will be paid to portfolio building.

Open to Theater majors only. Pre Req: THEATER 360
