AcknowledgementsNone of this is new material. I've learned from some of the best designers and theatre educators throughout my career, and simply adapted what I gained from those people to my own workflow. Now I pass these thoughts on to you, so you can adapt them to yours.
Special thanks go out to Bryon Winn at University of Iowa, and Rob Murphy at University of Michigan. Lots of the theory comes directly from these two excellent teachers and artists. Thanks also to the many directors and designers I've collaborated with over the years, who have helped me sharpen my skills, and have been partners in creating some pretty incredible art. And thanks to my students, for being willing to try what is usually a pretty new thing. SupportThis website is free. I don't pay anything for it, and you don't need to either. If, however, you find it valuable enough to you to assign a monetary value to your learning, I encourage you to donate something to a professional theatre company. Community support is how these companies hire professional designers like me (and maybe you). If you're not sure who to donate to, here are a couple companies that have hired me in the past, and they will always welcome unexpected donations:
