THR 219 - Creativity & Collaboration

1 course unit

An introduction to the artistic process of creating a comprehensive design for live performance. Students will explore and apply the various means that designers, directors, and choreographers use to communicate the visual and aural world of the performance throughout the design process, and develop their looking and seeing skills. Over the course of the semester students will design the world of a production (scenic design), the characters that inhabit that world (costume design), how we visually perceive the world (lighting design), and how we hear it (sound design), all based in a unified directorial concept.
