Students collaborate with each other on the production process and decide the approach for each original play script. The “director” and each collaborator for each play will post a 250-word essay detailing their production concept and artistic approach. All collaborators must work together to create a unified “whole” for the production of each script. The creative team must work together to stage their “fantasy” version of their fellow’s original script.

Besides a director, a  team could consist of:

Set Designer

Costume Designer

Light Designer

Sound Designer

Properties Designer

Technical Director

Each essay should discuss what the collaborative process was like and describe what creative choices you would bring to the production.

Discussion Board Topic: The goal of theatre is transformation. Discuss how this process can occur.
