Designing West End Shows - STA25BS01 - 606004

Behind the Scenes - Set Design 

A practical, creative workshop in which students can learn about the professional world of a set designer and create their own original model box. This will be an engaging workshop for students who want to learn more about 'backstage' and the role of a designer within a performance.

Participants will:

• Learn about the role of a professional set designer and get a chance to ask questions.
• Take part in sketching and 'mark-making' activities.
• Create a design for their own theatre show, in response to a theme.
• Make a model box using a range of materials to take home.
• Explore other elements such as lighting and costume.

No experience of design is needed. This is a fun, engaging session open to all levels and abilities.
