About the course
This course gives students an intensive learning experience that fuses core theatre design skills with creative insights from working practitioners. Over two sessions per week for four weeks you will receive clear detailed instruction from a professional designer, and briefing and feedback from a professional director. Plus access to live Q and A sessions where you will be able to ask questions and get feedback.
The course will follow the methodology of a professional designer. You will start by analysing a script, receiving a briefing from a director, and then making your own scale model box, which you will use to create your design. You will also be given instruction in model making and using scale plans and elevations to communicate your ideas.
Who is it for?
Scenehouse INTRO is aimed at participants from a wide range of related disciplines who want to find out more about the process of set design or if designing for performance is the career path for them.
The INTRO course is also a dynamic creative experience in itself - and is ideal for students who would like to work on their approach to 3d design - or explore model making in a theatrical context.
The schedule will introduce students to the key creative processes of scenography, exploring the designer’s role as visual story teller and image maker, as well as focusing on the hard skills of design including script analysis, working at scale and model making.
This course will be released via learning sessions twice per week, over 4 weeks, allowing time for students to follow the course and make their models at their own pace. There will be two scheduled live Q and A sessions. The 4- week course will end with a live feedback session, but then stay online for a further 4 weeks, giving the opportunity for recap or catching up if your process has been delayed. All live sessions will be recorded so if you cannot attend you can watch later.
The course is constructed to replicate an overview of the creative path theatre designers take to arrive at finished Set and Costume Designs. Learning is based on a linked series of practical hands-on exercises incorporating a home - studio period in which each participant works out their own design solution to a given text in the form of a scale model.
Please believe that it not essential to be able to draw and paint! There are many other techniques you can apply.
Students will need a small tool kit comprising:
1:25 scale ruler, set square. pencils, sketchbook, scalpel knife, cutting board and metal ruler. (details about these will be given on sign up, including sources to buy if needed)
You will also need to have materials for making your model - options for which will be detailed on sign- up, but which can be adapted depending on what is available to you! Ideally as a minimum you would have two or three sheets of A3 size foam board (black preferably), PVA glue, masking tape, a small selection of water based paints available, plus a range cardboard (which can be as simple as 'cereal box' card. There are other materials which can be very useful, but are not essential if you are starting out.
The first two lessons do not require anything other than a sketchbook and pencils, so there will be time to order tools and materials after sign up.
