27. Designers Part Two Lesson 9.2 Theatre 100: Introduction to Theatre Dr. Michael M. O’Hara

28. Scenic Design: the art of place and space. Create environment (place action, reinforce idea/theme, stage story, build mood). Create art (color-form, texture, dimension, line, movement-real and optical). Create order (ground plan, white models, color models, construction, decoration).

29. Why is it important to transform space? Public spaces. –North Quadrangle (Shaffer Tower) This space. –Color, composition, conductive to learning? Private spaces. –Your own room … color, composition, sound, lights, effects for a date?

30. Costume Design: the art of look and feel. Create clothes for both the character and the actor. Create art (texture, line, color). Creates order (sketch artist, patterns, tailor, drape, repair).

40. Androcles in Retrospect Costumes and sets added significance (meanings) that extended the meanings of the play beyond the original text. All costume adds significance … even yours!

41. Your Costume? What are some characteristics of our own costume designs (what do the choices about texture, line, color, drape, etc. suggest about a typical BSU student)? Can we change perception by changing costume? The Interview?

42. Summary: All the designers unify and reinforce the ideas and themes of a production (concept) through the transformation of space and time using actors, sets, lights, costumes, and sound.
