How does a designer figure out what a script would look like? How does s/he get inside the script and translate those ideas into sets, or costumes or lights? In this course we will examine the role of the designer and a process of developing artistic responses to the script. What methods do designers use to communicate? How do they read the script? How do they talk to other designers, the director or other members of the production team? We will analyze the way designers make artistic choices.
