Designers Part Two Lesson 9. 2 Theatre 100: Introduction to Theatre Dr. Michael M. O’Hara
Scenic Design: the art of place and space. • Create environment (place action, reinforce idea/theme, stage story, build mood). • Create art (color-form, texture, dimension, line, movement-real and optical). • Create order (ground plan, white models, color models, construction, decoration).
Why is it important to transform space? • Public spaces. – North Quadrangle (Shaffer Tower) • This space. – Color, composition, conductive to learning? • Private spaces. – Your own room … color, composition, sound, lights, effects for a date?
Costume Design: the art of look and feel. • Create clothes for both the character and the actor. • Create art (texture, line, color). • Creates order (sketch artist, patterns, tailor, drape, repair).

Androcles in Retrospect • Costumes and sets added significance (meanings) that extended the meanings of the play beyond the original text. • All costume adds significance … even yours!
Your Costume? • What are some characteristics of our own costume designs (what do the choices about texture, line, color, drape, etc. suggest about a typical BSU student)? • Can we change perception by changing costume? • The Interview?
Summary: • All the designers unify and reinforce the ideas and themes of a production (concept) through the transformation of space and time using actors, sets, lights, costumes, and sound.
