Go backstage and create! Starting with a story concept and the “Director’s vision”, you will work in teams to design and create a basic scene and set piece for a black box theatre using a variety of techniques and materials.
You will learn how to work to scale, perspective and take your completed miniature set home when you are finished.
There will be time for plenty of questions and even a chance to learn about making your own sets for stories you have created.
