Aims
This module aims to introduce students to a wide range of practical design and fabrication skills relating to set design and realisation.
The module furthermore aims to deliver the knowledge, understanding, interpersonal and technical skills necessary to support work on productions.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
Through a series of lectures, practical workshops, individual projects and group tasks, students will be introduced to the essential technical skills necessary for the design and realisation of productions. These skills include scale model making, technical drawing, scene painting and scenic construction and fabrication.
Students will use 1:25 scale models in the development and communication of ideas and to relate design concepts to a physical space, considering the effect and viewpoints of an audience.
Students will be taught the role technical drawing plays in the development of set design and its realisation. Hand-drawn technical drawings will be produced to present relevant information as suitable for use in the scenic workshop.
Students will learn about and experience scenic construction and fabrication processes including working from scale models and technical drawings; choice and use of tools and materials; finishing techniques incorporating an introduction to scene painting and applied finishes; set get-in and assembly; working as group; and safe working practices in the scenic workshop.
In addition to the development of practical skills, students will be introduced to research skills for design and encouraged to develop both verbal and written self-reflective and evaluative skills.
The module is structured to deliver the knowledge, understanding, interpersonal and technical skills necessary to support work on productions.

Module Overview:
This module will introduce students to a wide range of practical design and fabrication skills relating to set design and realisation.
In addition to the development of technical skills, students will develop a firm knowledge and understanding of the design and fabrication processes associated with performance, exhibition, installation, and live events.
A collaborative practical project with Level 4 Theatre and Production Technology students will enable students to actively experience the complete production process, from concept to realisation.
