THE 122A - Introduction to Scenic and Lighting Design

This is an intensive survey course exploring the use of lighting and scenic elements in live performance mediums. Using methods, language, theories, and resources developed primarily in traditional live theater, it is the intent of the course to first develop a common language between the collaborative artists that are at the heart of performance design so the intent of the artistic vision can be defined and thus achieved. The course will include lectures, demonstrations, and practical application of ideas, techniques, and methods employed in the traditional collaborative theatrical production process, as well as class discussion about the application of this process to other live performance and collaborative art. Course Typically Offered: Every year.

Prerequisite(s): None.
