Design for Theatre and Television

Design for Theatre and Television - Course information

Design in the entertainment industry is an ever changing and exciting career path The Bachelor of Arts (Design for Theatre and Television) will equip graduates with skills in television and theatre design and technical production, and so launch them into rewarding careers in a growing industry.

The course has been designed to provide students with appropriate and transferable skills that will allow them to cross over from theatre to television to film, and to event staging.

Specifically, they will acquire expertise in the design aspects of television and theatre (sets, lighting, sound, costumes and properties); the skills to implement designs (including rigging and plotting lights, sound installation, set and costume construction): lighting and sound operating skills; production management; stage management; through a range of practical hands on subjects.

Students will then put the skills they learn in these subjects into practice through a series of television and stage productions, including mainstage shows at the Riverina Playhouse, drama studio productions, television studio productions, and location television projects, all of which also foster their design and management skills. All these specialist vocational subjects are underpinned by contextual studies in theatre, film and television, which complete a well- rounded education.
