A central player in the act of creating a performance is the designer. Whether it is in the role of set designer, costume designer, lighting designer or sound designer, they play a pivotal and collaborative part in the conception and realisation of a performance. Performance designers use as their raw materials some or all of the following – the human figure, space, light and sound. As a student you will learn to manipulate these materials and explore their relationship to each other through studio-based classes along side a comprehensive study of the theory, history and practice of performance design. You will develop the conceptual and technical skills required to respond to a design brief and effectively represent and communicate your ideas, culminating in a major design project in third year.
