Collaboration among disciplines, both within and without the Design program, is a constant practice.Īll design concentrations are closely interrelated. A balance between theoretical work, which students conceive of and develop in the classroom, and projects that are realized on stage, is the ever-present goal. The student’s training is accomplished through approximately equal parts classroom work and production experience. We make a strong personal commitment to each student who is accepted, and we work to provide the resources necessary for all students to succeed in the program. There is a high faculty-to-student ratio. Students are admitted to the program on the basis of their artistic abilities as shown in their portfolios, as well as their commitment to the theater and their ability to articulate their ideas.Īpproximately seventeen students are admitted each year. The program endeavors to create an atmosphere conducive to creative experimentation, tempered by honest, open criticism and disciplined study.

It is hoped that through their David Geffen School of Drama experience, design students discover a true sense of joy in working with other people and realize the excitement of evolving a production through the process of collaboration.

The program encourages students to discover their own process of formulating design ideas, to develop a discriminating standard for their own endeavors, and above all to prepare for a creative and meaningful professional life in the broad range of theater activities. The purpose of the Design program is to develop theater artists who are accomplished, committed, daring designers of costume, lighting, projection, set, and sound for the theater.
