Design Process
My design process includes reading a play for enjoyment and then reading it for a second time to build images in my mind. Before I start my research I like to chat with the director to get what visuals they may have in mind and understand why they chose that particular play? For research: I start researching the playwright: (who they are, where they came from, their life and career etc). Then i see if their play relates to anything about them. I research the time period: (historical events, social, political status, as well as the architecture, fashion, art, etc.) I put together a visual board including what the script calls for as well as a rough draft of the designs.
