Class Show Assignments
Select your area of design for your production (Costume, Makeup, Scenery, Lighting, Props, Sound...if the production calls for it). You may have more than one person working together on design.
For this assignment, include any other work you have done and have documentation for this semester (NCTC Festival show, for example).
NOTE: Even if your portion is difficult to show in pictures (sound design, backstage) still show pictures from the show and explain your role. EVERYONE should also include an image of the program, documenting their involvement with the play. Pictures from the show AND images of the program are posted in the Gallery section of the website.
Finally...please collaborate on this. Share pictures (rehearsal pictures, build/paint pictures, etc). Theatre is a team sport, we all work together to pull the show off. While there is no minimum length to this assignment, this should be well organized and professional, to show off to a college.
For this assignment, document the preparation you are doing for your show, the near-final aspects to be pulled together, as well as documentation from backstage of the show night itself.
Depending on your aspect of design, exactly what this looks like will be very different. Ideas to include are:
* Light Cue Sheet/Sound Cue Sheet (notes written on the script for the cues as well), pictures of yourself at the light board, sound board, spotlight
* Final Props List, pictures of the backstage props table the night of the show
* Finalized set designs (and pictures of the actors on the set pieces)
* Finalized costume designs (and pictures of the actors in costumes)
* Crew List (who will be doing what for your show)
* Show Pictures (the ones posted on the website). NOTE: These show pictures should not be the only thing you have for this assignment, but they can be a part of it.
For this assignment, do not feel that you have to focus only on your aspect of design. If you have had a hand in multiple areas, please include everything you've been working on.
Set Design: Pictures of you building platforms, a sketch of the stage design, and a paragraph describing what you have done so far.
Costume Design: Pictures of the costumes you have already pulled and organized for the show, pictures from websites of the costume pieces you still need to buy, and a paragraph describing your work so far.
Props Design: (same as costume design)
Sound Design: Links to some of the songs you plan to use, songs or sound cues you have created yourself in Garage Band, and a paragraph describing your work so far.
These are only examples, get creative and show evidence of your work so far.
Under each picture, type a short (1-2 sentence) description of how you think you could incorporate these into your play.
* What is the prop (or costume, or scenic element, etc)?
* What page number is it on?
* What actor(s) uses it?
* Does the script describe the prop in any further detail?
* Any other thoughts/ideas you have about this prop?
You can also take notes on places in the script that might not specifically reference a prop (or costume, or scenic element, etc), but you think would work well there.
You can format this however it works best for you (some people like to create this as a spreadsheet, some people like to type it out in bullet points, etc). However, make sure it is typed and professional in appearance, as this will be going in your portfolio.
What does it look like in your mind? Don't worry about how practical it is right now, or how you're going to make it happen on stage. Think big!
If you are a director, tell me who you would like to work on your show.
NOTE: No promises that you will be assigned to the show/job you request, but this is a good starting point for me. I will assign the class show crews in class the week of Nov 5.

Organization:
Start off talking, what does each designer want to start working on? What does each show need? Do this before the shows are cast and before people are assigned to shows (who wants to play with lighting, scenery, costumes, etc).
