KCACTF Region 1 Conference 57

General, open to all. Designers create the tangible elements of design. But how do we approach and describe the world of the play from the perspective of a playwright or a director? How can we participate in world building without being heavy handed with how talk about, think about and work towards a 3 dimensional representation that the play exists in. Students participating in this workshop are asked to bring in some adjectives that describe what it feels like to live where they are from without being literal. For instance – I am from New Hampshire and it feels crisp with a slight coolness to the air. I hear crushed leaves and smell cut grass. It is quiet except for the sound of cars intermittently passing by on the surrounding, distant roads. I can feel my lungs fill with clean, cold air. It feels vast and also full of nature and trees. We will read a short 10-minute play and participants will work in groups to create a vision/image/mood board that describes the elements of the world. Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop or some kind of device that allows them to search for images or music.
