In this one-time class we will explore the role and importance of the set designer! Set design is one of the most important concepts in Theatre. Set design can simply give the audience a place or it can convey mood. The only limit is what you can imagine! Join me as we explore both simple and complex concepts in set design. The first part of class will explore the concept of set design and take a look at examples from real shows. The last portion of class will be used to design and create! Students will be given ideas, guidance and a template to sketch out ideas. No background in art required! We will talk about the basics of communicating an idea and students will get immediate feedback on their ideas. No background knowledge is required.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi There!
I am a passionate theatre educator, currently working as a theatre director, stage manager and online instructor here on Outschool!
I have my Bachelors degree in Theatre and my Masters degree in Drama Education.
I have worked in a variety of amazing and interesting jobs including touring as the assistant stage manager with a theatre company across Switzerland! For 3 years I was the Theatre Department director of a high school, teaching all the theatre courses and directing the plays, musicals and summer camp shows. I also have spent time working for children's theatre companies as an outreach director for underserved schools. For the past few years though I have found a love for teaching about the wonderful world of theatre, online. I love working with young people in theatre and helping them find their creative voice.
My courses range from fun deep dives into favorite musicals, to readers theatre clubs.
All of my classes are inclusive, fun and have a "we are all family" feel. Everyone is welcome, everyone's thoughts matter, and I invite each learner to bring their passions and authentic selves to my online classroom. My goal is to always create a space of belonging for everyone who enrolls.
Policies*
Late arrival/missed classes/recordings:
Classes with 2+ students enrolled:
Once at least one student has arrived in the classroom I will begin class. In the event that no students enter the classroom I will wait 10 minutes before closing the classroom. Please let me know if you are running late so I know to wait longer for you! If a student misses a class that ran with multiple students you can always reach out to request the video recording. Please request this via message to me. The "request recording" button does not actually go to the teachers, so I won't know you requested it.
Please note if you miss 3 ongoing classes in a row, Outschool automatically withdraws you from the class.
Classes with 1 student:
For one-time classes (such as my "working in theatre" or "Musical Theatre Hits" courses) I will sometimes run a class even with just 1 student. For these classes I will wait 10 minutes and then will close the classroom if the student does not arrive. No class will be recorded. Please let me know if you are running late so I know to wait longer if needed! If you miss a class that had only your student enrolled I cannot accommodate transfers.
