Document Summary
Lecture #9 (2/20) the designer (words in red = could come up on midterm) In most professional productions, everything you see onstage had to be designed: set, costume, makeup/hair, light, sound, projections, usually, designers specialize in one field but have knowledge of all of the above. When is design most and least evident to audiences: representational (going for something real) theatre, we tend to notice in less, presentational (going for something more abstract) theatre, we tend to notice it more. Period design: costumes, set, etc. match time period, lots of research goes into set and costumes. Elements of design: the designer"s tools, line, shape, color, texture, space, all of these elements exist to evoke a response from the audience make them feel something. In theatrical design, a line can be created in several ways: all lines have direction: horizontal, vertical or oblique (all over the place)
