THEA 424
Fall 2025 Part of Term 1
Aug 25-Dec 10
Credit: 3 hours.
The addition of automation to the Entertainment Industry was a major turning point in the capabilities of live theatre. This course begins the study of the equipment and processes commonly used to move scenery onstage. We will be covering the vocabulary, the typical components and machines used, safety requirements of using automation, and will involve hands-on practice in assembling and disassembling various scenic effects. The knowledge gained will build a foundation for students to identify and select appropriate equipment for use, and will aid in communicating automated-movement concepts and practice with artistic collaborators.
3 undergraduate hours. 3 graduate hours. Prerequisite: THEA 126. Enrollment limited to Theatre majors or by consent of instructor.
