Where are the Dressing Rooms?

Where are the Dressing Rooms? is an Interdisciplinary Arts class taught by Peter Kallok.

Course Description
Designers, choreographers, and performers frequently face a traditional empty space or, as is often the case, face a nontraditional space and then question how to "fill" or design within it. What elements help create the functionality and appropriateness of a performance space? We will explore a variety of spaces, western, non-western, traditional, non-traditional, and the "performers" who use or have used them. We will then focus on design elements such as scenery, lighting and sound and examine the many ways these elements serve the text and/or vision of a performance piece within these spaces.
