PHILOSOPHY OF THE STAGECRAFT AND DESIGN DEPARTMENT
It is the purpose of the Stagecraft and Design Department to provide an open forum for research, development, and production within the framework of the art forms that create stagecraft. In doing so, we will strive to instill in each student the following understandings for artistic growth:
• Team Design
• Collaboration and communication
• Respect for and responsiveness to the needs of students, faculty, and staff
• Highest standards in professionalism, design, creativity and academics
• Critical, creative and imaginative thinking, diversity of ideas
• Artistic, academic and intellectual freedom
FUNCTION OF THE STAGECRAFT AND DESIGN DEPARTMENT
Through lighting, set, sound, props, costume, and make-up design, the Stagecraft and Design Department creates the environment that greets an audience the minute they enter the performance spaces at every DSA production. Each school year, majoring students in this department design and construct all of the production elements for as many as twenty separate productions, over seventy individual performances. Our artistic skills enable every student participating in all the special events at DSA to shine. This methodology creates artists who are proficient in all areas of Stagecraft and Design.
