April 27 - May 1

This week you will begin learning about theatrical design through some foundational information and texts. In the following weeks, you will be experimenting with and analyzing costumes, lighting, and scenic design. This week’s assignment should take a minimal amount of time as you balance other classes and develop your daily schedule.

MONDAY - FRIDAY:

• Read the six scanned textbook pages about technical theatre - included in Downloads section as "Intro to Design/Tech Theatre". These pages are rudimentary and fundamental, so you may not be surprised by the information included. Write any new vocabulary from the “language of theatre” sections in your Theatrical Terminology/Spaces Packet from first semester. If you lost that packet, write new vocabulary words in your class notes.
• Answer the following question with one well-thought, developed, and proofread paragraph and submit to turnitin.com:
  • What are the four elements of production design? Choose three theatrical productions you have experienced in the recent past. To what extent were these designs a mixture of the four elements? Be specific.
  • This assignment is due to turnitin.com by midnight on Friday the 1st.
