Abstract Details

2020, Master of Fine Arts, Ohio State University, Theatre.
Theatre as an art connects the text of a written play with a live audience. A designer's role in this art is to create an environment which both supports the story and evokes the meaning of the text to the those who share it. By analyzing the contrasting relationships and their surroundings in William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, I created a world which was sophisticated enough to both evoke serious themes pertinent to today's society and maintain the magic and whimsy of the original text. This thesis documents my scenic design process for this production of the Department of Theatre at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.
