Overview

FeesLook up fees

The focus of this studio subject is the development of both design thinking and dexterity with tools – specifically the generation and articulation of design possibilities through a series of studio based projects. Linking these investigations will be the theme of the human figure in performance which may be explored conceptually, metaphorically, structurally, or technologically –, for example how that figure can be manipulated through costume design, the figure’s relationship to space, the lit figure, the puppet as a representation of the human figure. In all of these investigations, the student will be encouraged to think of the figure as a dramaturgical tool.
