The elements of line, texture and color, and their application to design and character delineation. Research of clothing styles of various cultures and eras. Enrollment limited to 15.

This course introduces students to the theory and practice of stage lighting design. Over the semester, we cultivate sensitivity towards the expressiveness of light and the relationship between light, form and space, eventually learning to manipulate light to articulate ideas. Through script analyses and design projects, we learn to understand the power of light in enhancing stage presentations, acquire skills in illuminating the drama, and apply such skills to collaboration with the production team at large.

Acting II offers intensive focus on different, specific topics pertaining to acting training. This course can be repeated for credit up to three times provided the content is different.

Same description as above. There is one general meeting in the Green Room, Theatre Building. Attendance is mandatory; attendance at weekly production meetings for some assignments may be required. Grading for this course is satisfactory/unsatisfactory.

A laboratory course based on the preparation and performance of department productions. Students in the first semester of enrollment are assigned to a production run crew. In subsequent semesters of enrollment, students elect to fulfill course requirements from a wide array of production-related responsibilities. May be taken four times for credit, with a maximum of two credits per semester. There is one general meeting at the start of each semester in the Green Room, Theatre Building. Attendance is mandatory; please contact the Theatre department for dates.

Same as SDS 107. An introduction to statistics that teaches broadly relevant concepts. Students from all disciplines are welcome. Topics include graphical and numerical methods for summarizing data; binomial and normal probability distributions; point and interval estimates for means and for proportions; one- and two-sample tests for means and for proportions; principles of experimental design. The class meets in a computer lab and emphasizes using the computer for analysis of data. Students design experiments, collect and analyze the data, and write reports on findings.
