| Theater is developed when several creative disciplines come together in collaboration to make a cohesive piece of art. In this thesis I will explain the process of scenic design using my design of Marques, a new play, directed by Erik Pearson. I will start by taking the reader through each step of my scenic design process to illustrate what designing entails and how a final design is achieved. This will demonstrate that when obstacles arise (due to visual or practical complications) their resolution is a large part of the collaborative process. By explaining the steps of my scenic design process and highlighting aspects of collaboration I demonstrate how they result in a unified theatrical production. |
