Aims
This module aims to support the development and application of many of the skills acquired in the modules: Design and Fabrication and Making Skills, through an individual hypothetical design project.
The module aims to enable students to develop further their understanding, knowledge and skills in set design, costume design, technical drawing, and lighting design in a production context, working in collaboration with a professional theatre director.
Students will be guided through the design process, concentrating on the research and development, presentation, and communication of ideas.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Interpret a text to develop a hypothetical design in support of an author's vision.
2.
Research independently and effectively, to support and develop a design for live performance.
3.
Experiment with existing and innovative ways of communicating and expressing ideas and information coherently and articulately, using two and three dimensional forms.
4.
Collaborate and negotiate with a director, building an effective communicative relationship.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
A series of lectures, seminars, workshops, and field trips will encourage students to examine the relationship between a theatrical text and various aspects, processes, and theories of theatre design.
Students will develop their studio-based practice through a collaborative design process with a professional theatre director.
Design meetings will mirror a professional working process and will be supported through one-to-one tutorials with teaching staff who will guide the students' independent work throughout, focusing on the research and development, presentation, and communication of ideas.
A verbal presentation will accompany the final assessment, with each student presenting a completed 1:25 scale design model within a specified venue, costume drawings, lighting storyboards and technical drawings of their final design concept.
Students are encouraged to develop their critical thinking and analytical skills as they feedback to their peers on the effectiveness of a design for a given text.
