This program has truly changed me. The best part of this program was being able to have hands on experience in my dream field of work.
Course Overview
Utilizing the elements and principles of stage design, it covers the development of concepts for visual narrative through critical script and text analysis, research, and discussions of professional best practices. Practical projects explore the relationships between environment, object, and text, and enact examples of
visual metaphor/storytelling via varied mediums (specifically scenery, light/projection, and costumes).
