TH3571: Introduction to Technology for the Theatre

This course is constructed to help each student experience the processes of theater production by working hands-on with production technologies and methodologies. Students will be divided into three teams for the entire semester which will move through several production disciplines and instructors: Scenic, Costumes, and Lighting in rotations of eight class sessions each and Audio for two class sessions. These classroom projects are reinforced with 4 hours per week of Lab [practical application and practice] in one of the shops. We will explore the interrelationship of Production Practice through three key elements: Production Processes and Modes of Communication (Visual, Narrative, Data Sets), Production Space Systems and Equipment (Large Tools, Permanent Infrastructure, Auxiliary/Temporary Infrastructure), and Production Skills and Techniques (Small Tools, Proprietary Theater Equipment, Construction/Installation Techniques). prereq: 1501
