Design and the director with Vanessa Porteous
Course Description
A one-day, introductory exploration of theatrical design for the director. Learn how to collaborate with your creative team to create the physical world of the play! We’ll examine how each aspect of design can help to tell the story; how to read a script for design; prepping to meet the designer(s); and even get our hands dirty with a little prelim design project of our own!
Morning:
- Beyond the obvious: How (each aspect of) theatrical design contributes to theatrical storytelling.
- The director prepares: how to read the play for design and get ready to meet your designer.
Afternoon: Design in practice: Create a prelim design for a provided text.
This workshop is intended for ages 15+
