Theatre Design https://theatredesign.podbean.com Have you ever felt like all your designs feel the same?

Are you usually creating unique designs but lately feel like they have gotten more boring?

Theatre Design is the weekly podcast that dives deep into how to create unique designs. Hosted by Finn Coons we explore designing with intention, bringing you in depth script analysis, and breaking down design methods. Whether you're new to design or a seasoned expert this podcast is here to help you improve as a designer. 

As a sound, lighting, and scenic designer with 5 years of experience I’ve learned a lot about design through working on a variety of shows. My journey from starting as a senior in high school with no experience to now being a senior in a Design and Production program with many shows under my belt has taught me a lot about how to read scripts and how to design within my theatre's limits from doing a lot of community theatre work. I understand not knowing where to start when receiving a script because I’ve been there. 

Through working on Marian or the True Tale of Robin Hood, I discovered that design impacts the show and that changed how I view design for theatre. This led me to change how I have analyzed scripts in the past year. Now I want to share how I break down scripts and create my unique designs with you.
