The addition of automation into the entertainment industry was a major turning point in the capabilities of live theater. This course begins the study of dynamics and the equipment commonly used to move scenery onstage. We will be covering the vocabulary, the mathematical equations, and information about electric motors, pneumatic & hydraulic components and other equipment used in theatrical mechanical design. The knowledge learned will build the foundation for students to identify and select the appropriate equipment to use and to communicate automated movement concepts to the artistic personalities involved in a theatrical production.

3 undergraduate hours. 3 graduate hours. Prerequisite: THEA 430. Enrollment limited to Theatre majors or by consent of instructor.
