Lighting Design Studio
F05, S06, F06
Michael Giannitti
Open to students who have completed at least one course in lighting design, this course may be taken more than once for credit. Design work on productions at the College, as well as nonproduced projects done on paper and other related assignments, are the substance of the coursework. Nonproduced assignments are chosen to complement the produced work. Normally, this course also includes the reading and the discussion of plays, and the exploration of solutions to more sophisticated design and production problems. The class meets weekly for group discussions of each student’s current design work, as well as to address the other assignments given. Individual meetings supplement the group meetings. Students should expect that the hours required to complete the work will not be equally distributed throughout the term; during production periods of several weeks, much more intensive work is necessary. Students are encouraged to take this course for four credits, but may opt for two credits with a commensurate reduction in expected work.
