Stagecraft and Wizardry: The Art and Science of Theatre

Have you ever wondered “how” film and theatre create new and interesting worlds? How did they make that monster in that new horror series? What makes special effects so magical? Using an interdisciplinary and experiment-based approach, students will have the opportunity to explore one of the largest industries in the world: entertainment and theatrical technology.

Each day of this institute, we will cover a new discipline, ranging from topics such as conceptual design, props and costumes, scenic art, sound design and radio plays, and lighting technology. At the end of the week, students will perform a radio-play that showcases all the new skills learned.
