Let's Talk: Designers & Directors in Collaboration

Let's Talk: Designers & Directors in Collaboration is an Interdisciplinary Arts class taught by William Kramer and Djola Branner.

Course Description
An introductory course which explores the collaboration between directors and designers. Primary concerns are interpreting the action of contemporary drama through visual as well as textual language, and developing a language for the critical analysis of contemporary theatre direction and design. Assignments include (at least) two written reports, one two-dimensional rendering or one three-dimensional design model, and staging or designing one scene from one contemporary play. This course will require a commitment to collaborative process, and a willingness to engage in experiential exercises.
