Royal Shakespeare Company
Designing Shakespeare
Designing for the theatrical stage is a serious art form, as confirmed by the Royal Shakespeare Company of England's recent critically-acclaimed production of Shakespeare's "The Tempest". This presentation features Rupert Goold (Director), Giles Cadle (Stage Design), Paul Anderson (Lighting), Adam Cork (Composition and Sound), and Mary Johnson (Education) in a discussion of the creative design process, stage aesthetic, artistic collaboration, and contemporary theatrical design.
Presented in collaboration with the University Musical Society.
