Design and craft the world of a play! Scamp Design & Tech Corps is recommended for for students ages 12-18 who are interested in learning about the design, technical, and production side of the theater, as well as what it takes to run a production. Students will learn both the conceptual artistry of design and the hands-on creation of elements such as scenery, props, costumes, lighting, sound and music, and more! The first five weeks of the course will consist of a survey of different design fields, including:
Costume
Lighting
Scenery & Props
Sound
Stage Management
After being introduced to these fields, scamps will apprentice under a working theatre professional in the area of their choosing, working on the design and tech for the Scamp Company production.
The course will cultivate a sense of dedication to craft, respect for fellow artists, and joy of creation. The designs produced will be presented in our portfolio showcase at the end of the term.
Skills students will develop during this course:
Knowledge and understanding of world-building, including how to choose and convey moods and themes of the settings
Understanding the instruments, technology, and art of lighting for theatre
Understanding the drafting and design methodology behind set and properties design
Imagining, designing, and gathering costumes
Understanding of how design speaks to the message and needs of a play.
Observation and listening
Understanding of theatre terms and technologies
