THEATRE DESIGN
projects include: 
1.  Design a Person - from a photo design a room, a set of clothes and 5 minute of light and sound for that person's life.
2.  Design a Line - "You make beauty and it disappears. I love that."  Students craft a visual narrative using this line.  They create the world as well as the story with no language.  
3.  Design a Scene - from stage directions and one scene from Chiori Miyagawa's This Lingering Life, design a  set, costumes, light and sound.  This scene is a conversation about time war,  death, and the cycles of life between a 12th Century Japanese Warrior and a contemporary man.
 4.  Design a Play - Toymaker's War by Jennifer Fawcett.  A Journalist recalls her experience during the genocide in Croatia, of children experiencing both the magic of their imaginations but also the reality of war.
