Production and Design PRODUCTION AND DESIGN The costume design, scenic/lighting design and stage management curricula offer students well-rounded, thorough, and practical training in scenic, lighting, sound and costume technology, production and design. Students, with faculty guidance and assistance, design and construct sets and costumes for all theater-related productions at the school. The school’s heavy production schedule and accelerated program afford incoming students immediate “hands-on” experience. COSTUME TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN The costume design curriculum at Florida School of the Arts begins with an examination of the fundamental techniques of costume design through a series of historical and problem-oriented projects. Emphasis is placed on imagination and problem solving in costume rendering and presentation of work. Students in the costume program also have the unique opportunity to design and construct costumes for the many school productions throughout the year. Upon completion of the costume program, a student is prepared for employment as a costume/wardrobe professional or as a costume technician in a professional shop. Students may also choose to continue their education in costume design at the university level. SCENIC/LIGHTING TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN The scenic/lighting design curriculum at Florida School of the Arts is unique in that it provides students instantaneous, practical stage experience balanced with classroom instruction. The program requires students to develop and present major projects in scenic/light and audio design. These projects ultimately contribute to the student’s portfolio. Former technical theater students have found successful employment in professional theater houses as well as touring companies, and many students have gone on to continue their education at four-year universities. STAGE MANAGEMENT The Stage management program seeks to prepare students for entry-level careers in Stage Management and Directing. From pre-production paperwork through opening night and beyond, students are mentored in all aspects of the production process. Because stage managers serve as the central communication hub for a production, students are trained in each area—lighting, costumes, acting, directing, sound, music etc. Teamwork, organizational and communication skills, time and personnel management and delegation are all key areas of emphasis in the training program. From their first semester of enrollment student stage managers are given positions of responsibility on main stage, black box and touring shows at the school.
