Sewing techniques specific to costume building are illustrated by practical application, experienced through opportu- nities to build for current productions. Prerequisite(s): PROD 230.


PROD 420 Costume Design II The purpose of this course is to broaden the students understanding of the relationship between concept and design. Through analysis and discussion the script is explored and a concept of costume design, rooted in script interpretation is developed. A design concept for costumes is then determined from the information and interpretation of the playwrights meaning and intention as well as the student’s own reaction to the material. Prerequisite(s): PROD 380.


PROD 430 The Public Event: Concept and Collaboration This course focuses on the development of conceptu- alization for the production design disciplines of scenic, lighting, and costume design for the environment of a public performance event. Students in the course work as a team to develop the program and conceptual framework for a nontext based performance event of their choice. Nontraditional and cross disciplinary forms and venues are emphasized. Prerequisite(s): PROD 320 and PROD 321, or PROD 420.


PROD 490 Production Design Portfolio This course guides students through the design and execution of their final portfolio and features an emphasis on research and analysis of aesthetic and conceptual decisions. The end product is rep- resentative of the designer’s abilities and aesthetic sensibilities, and as such may serve as an introduction to potential employers. Prerequisite(s): PROD 430.


Production Design (Graduate)


PROD 720 Production Design Theory and Practice This is a project driven course that examines design solutions through the specific utilization of the ele- ments and principles of design. These solutions are made manifest through the use of graphite as the main medium and culminate in a short film.


PROD 724 Production Design Studio I: Scenic Design Using a broad range of drawing, ideation and presenta- tion skills, students master the theoretical understand- ing and studio skills used in the professional arena of performance events, including stage productions, performance art pieces, installation projects, industrial-, film-, and television-specific applications. Students actualize scenic projects. Prerequisite(s): PROD 720.


PROD 726 Production Design Studio I: Costume Design This studio course increases the student’s technical and informational base in the history and execution of costume design. Students engage in technical render- ing, pattern drafting, the creation of full-color costume plates with swatch sections, as well as the production of one specialized period garment. Prerequisite(s): PROD 720.


PROD 727 Production Design Studio I: Lighting Design Through the development of lighting projects, students in this course work to examine the process of lighting design projects from the germination of the idea to the final product. Students design lighting for events tak- ing place in theaters, film projects, alternative spaces, as well as for media-based applications. Through class discussion and critiques, lighting concepts are challenged and developed. Prerequisite(s): PROD 720.


PROD 730 Script Analysis for Production Design This course requires that students apply the estab- lished principals of production design theory by pro- ducing design projects based on scripts, screenplays or other source material. Students critique their work and that of others. Prerequisite(s): ARTH 701.


PROD 735 Concept Development for Production Design Using the research, critical thinking and analysis skills developed in previous script analysis courses, students synthesize the analysis process to identify and evaluate successful production designs and their relationship and origin in script and text based material. Prerequisite(s): MPRA 728 or PROD 730.
