Performance 设计 and 技术

Inspire, 合作 & 创建

Our Performance 设计 & 技术 program is unique in that it stands strong as an individual area of focus while also being integral to all areas of performing arts. This allows you to explore other interests and expand beyond theatrical design into dance, performance art, site-specific work, production design and integrated media. We are focused on creating for the now, by looking to our past and moving deftly into the future.

It is a requirement for PD&T minor that you complete a capstone project. A capstone consists of being a lead designer or technician on a play or production. As part of this, you will document your process in a portfolio to be exhibited at the end of term.

It is imperative that the next generation of performance artists embrace all the different hats that should be worn. With this in mind, let us work to break the mold. 当然, artists should be well-versed in all the extremely technical minutia of how a lamp gets plugged in and eventually becomes a tangible element in a plot, but our job is to teach the technical and expand on it. Let us provide the desire and the technique. For each semester that is offered, our process will be two-fold. You will be required to take a technical course paired with courses that are geared toward a designers approach. The technical courses should include CAD, 电动车, 风景优美的建筑, scenic painting and video and projection programming that could be a crossover course between many design disciplines.

There is a vast world of career opportunities to be had in performance design.

Performing 艺术 and 设计 faculty and staff are highly successful in placing our stu­dents in discipline specific professional internships in the NY area, nationally and inter­nationally. Due to our location, Alfred is able to access internships at regional theatres as well as in New York City.

In partnership with the Career Development Center, we are able to help you begin your portfolio and resume early in order to connect you with the outreach needed to gain internships and employment during the summer.

As active participants in the national and regional sectors of United States Institute of 技术 and with the Kennedy Center American Collegiate 剧院 Festival, you will have access to a wide-range of professional development, as well as recogni­tion for their work.

*Props* to you, Jason! (Sculpture/Dimensional Studies, Performance 设计 Tech)

"Combining my interests in fine art and theater, I seek to blur the line that has long separated the two areas by employing my traditional art skills and knowledge into my theatrical design work."
