Innovating the Design Process: A Theatre Design Journey explores the
process of designing for theatre and details how each part of a
designer's own process, no matter what their design specialization, can
be innovated and adapted for a more confident journey and for better
outcomes.
The book observes and deconstructs the processes used by theatre
designers, uncovers and explains the structure and concepts behind those
processes and shows how they can be easily reassembled for better
results and to meet different situations. It uses innovative real-world
practical examples from all the fields of theatre design taken from
shows throughout the author's career. The processes covered in this book
are split into two sections - design development and design
implementation - with an additional chapter covering design
presentations. Written in an engaging and informative style, this text
opens up a designer's ability to innovate within the design process to
optimize reproducibility, resilience, personal fit, confidence,
collaboration and audience engagement.
Innovating the Design Process is a next level book for both MFA
theatre design students and early career professionals who wish to
develop their craft further. Seasoned professionals will also find
within its pages concepts to reinvigorate their own design process.
The book includes access to an online guide to using Microsoft Word for
Mac to mirror content in two separate documents.
