This subject will be delivered in the form of an intensive design lab to further facilitate the understanding and importance of collaboration with an Artistic Director (AD) in the realisation of design concepts. Students will be given a stimulus from a guest artistic director which they are to familiarise themselves with before attending class. The students will collaborate with the AD to create a Design Concept Document (DCD). Each week students will work in collaborative teams (a lighting designer, audio designer and vision designer) to develop a DCD. Each student group will produce a single unified Design Concept Document incorporating inspirational/aspirational audio, images and video to represent the design; the design concept will be presented to the AD.

Students will have a clear understanding of the integration of performance technology elements in a variety of contexts.

This subject aims to stimulate and educate students in the process and importance of collaboration and creation of Design Concept Documentation with an Artistic Director’s input. Students should demonstrate the process of creating design concepts to articulate their ideas.
