Concepts of Design and Production II is meant to encourage a further understanding of the principles, methods, and tools of theatrical design. Students select one (1) of the three (3) primary areas of design (costume, scenery, and lighting) to focus on in consultation with the professor. Students continue to develop a methodology for designing technical elements of a theatrical production in an educational theatre setting. Students receive advanced instruction in their chosen area of design’s considerations, script analysis, historical period research, sketching, rendering, drafting, and modeling techniques, along with the considerations of the practical realization of stage designs. Students will come to further understand the properties of space, shape, line, form, and color as they are used in theatre through more hands-on projects, and practical experience working on theatrical productions as designers.
