A90 Advanced Diploma of Design for Live Production, Theatre and Events | |
INTRODUCTION Units are structured to provide comprehensive training in the principles, techniques and processes required in designing for theatre, film and television. After initial exposure to basic visualisation and research skills, students undertake challenging design projects including sets, props, costumes, millinery, make-up and wigs. Students also attend classes in drawing, technical drawing and computer aided design. These studio-based classes and projects inform on-going practical design involvement in WAAPA productions and a professional placement in third year. Students work as directed on productions mounted by the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. Students begin by assisting until sufficiently skilled to perform designated tasks. In the final year students will be expected to collaborate on productions at a professional level of competence.
Professional placement to industry in the graduating year is a compulsory and practical component. Students undertake an appropriate attachment for production experience. The purpose of this work is to develop and strengthen the proficiencies and skills required in the industry. |
