Term 4 - THEATRE DESIGN WITH ROSIE GILMORE
Join us in Term 4 to dive into the world of theatre design. Participants will explore the different elements of design eg set. costume, light, projection and props.
Discover through the design process the amazing amount of thought and creativity that goes on behind the scenes to create magical moments in theatre. With a chance to explore your own personal design aesthetic and what needs to be considered when creating designs that are functional for theatre and that invoke the emotion or themes of the work.
Lead by industry professional Rosie Gilmore, this workshop will teach you skills from the beginning of the design process to the end. You will explore the process of design and learn skills by exploring works from a range of designers. You will also get the opportunity to use these skills by creating your own design of an initial concept inspired by a piece of theatre.
