Building upon the foundation laid by Impact of Design and Performance 1.1, this course looks specifically at design as a key compositional element within theatre. The primary objective of this course is to develop both the artistic and practical dimensions of the collaborative design process, including script analysis, research, and the development of design ideas for a specific play. The outcome of the course is to instill a comprehensive understanding of the process involved in creating a theatrical design for a performance. This understanding provides students with a solid groundwork for the collaborative dynamics between performers, writers, directors, and designers, and helps them appreciate the designer’s role as a co-author of a performance.
