Stagecraft I

Catalog description

As designers at NYU, you will learn much about collaborating with many different people and specialties in the process of designing produced work. This includes the subject of this class, your work with production artisans who will build, prop, paint, and otherwise execute the designs you and your creative team create. Stagecraft I will focus on this production process and how designers interact with their technical staff. There will be a heavy focus on the budgeting and technical design processes because that is the phase where designers and production staff have a meaningful interaction and when iteration of design ideas can happen with intention and support. This course will elaborate on the scenery, paints, and props production processes with a focus on how designers can successfully work alongside their production teams in the creation of theater pieces at NYU and beyond.
