[PAST EVENT] Set Design for the Stage: From Script to Opening - Tim McMath '00
Access & Features
- Registration/RSVP
What does a set designer in the theater do? Where do the ideas come from? How do they share and sell those ideas with the rest of their collaborators? This workshop will explain the design process for creating scenery. We will discuss each step and look at examples of the sketches, scale models and drawings that we create along the way. This workshop is aimed at anyone who is interested in learning how theatre is created, no technical theater experience is required.
