Graduate Scenic Design: Moving the Musical

Catalog description

Designing scenery for a musical presents a number of specific and unique issues, often quite different than designing straight play. Addressing not only the story and the meaning of the piece is of course important but one must pay close attention to the style of the music and the way the songs are incorporated into the text. How do these elements help to tell the story? This course will allow you to explore how scenery moves and the ways in which it can enhance a text.
