Moving Beyond the Façade Walls: Using Script Analysis and Directing Concepts within the Scene Designer's Process
Fall USITT Ohio Valley Section Conference, 2017 (Akron, United States, 21-Oct-2017 - 21-Oct-2017)
2017
Abstract
This session focuses script analysis methods to encourage creative performance design solutions and facilitate collaborative discussions with directors and other designers. In some cases, introductory design textbooks introduce script analysis to emerging designers through scenographic representation (such as the given circumstances: time, place, economics, etc.), design principles (color, design harmony, unity, etc.), historical research and production metaphors. As an extension of these important script analysis tools, this presentation considers how introductory methods in directing and acting can benefit an emerging designer’s process. This hands-on session will use the presentation room as a creative sandbox exploring concepts in balance, levels, boundaries, tension, pathways and character objective analysis. This session serves as an introduction these concepts for high school and 1st/2nd year undergraduate students interested in scenic or lighting design (particularly those who have not had an opportunity to take directing or script analysis courses).
