Course Description:
The Set and Costume Designer conceives the physical space and costume for performance. Stage designers need to be able to innovate and to provide inspiration for stage directors, actors, set and costume makers. Study will include projects that go from model box to full-realisation in a range of performance spaces. Students will get to experiment with form, space and performance genres with experienced professionals.
At Central, the course will indicatively include: learning to make models; producing technical and costume drawings; applying these skills in order realise public productions in our professionally equipped performance spaces; Undertaking theoretical design projects from opera to site-specific installations; working in an inter-disciplinary style with students of other courses (such as construction and craft students, who'll realise designs, lighting and sound design students, and production and stage management students, who'll bring the work to the moment of the performance).
