Materials of Theater
An introduction to design, directing, and performance conducted in a combined discussion/workshop format. Students will be exposed to visual methods of interpreting a text. Early class discussions focus on a theoretical exploration of theater as an art form and seek to establish a vocabulary for and understanding of basic theatrical conventions, with readings from Aristotle through Robert Wilson. Students will spend the bulk of the semester testing these theories for themselves, ultimately designing their own performances for two plays.
S-Advanced Costume Techniques
This class is designed for students who have both costuming and stitching experience and are interested in further exploring these skills. It is primarily a technical class focusing on cutting and stitching, dye techniques, and theatrical craft including millinery and/or mask making. Upon completion of this class, students will have completed a period garment, designed and executed a craft piece and compiled a mini portfolio of techniques and skills. This course is a prerequisite for Theater 593D (Draping and Patternmaking).
