Collaboration and Cross Disciplinary Learning
The Design and Technical Theatre curriculum epitomizes the art of collaboration and cross disciplinary learning.
Students in Seattle Academy Design and Technical Theater classes explore the world of theater design and technology by bringing their personal basket of talents and human experience to our community storytelling and productions. We offer opportunities for students to design shows, work as part of our theatre crews, and regularly create opportunities for independent study projects, often with local professional theaters.
SAAS Design and Technical Theatre classes offer both Middle and Upper School students with the opportunity gain a broad overview or to “dive deep” into a subject.
The Design and Technical Theatre curriculum epitomizes the art of collaboration and cross disciplinary learning.
Math and engineering, literary interpretation and analysis, and interpreting historical themes and context are all interwoven into the students’ experience as they build skills in the Design and Technical Theatre realm.
Students learn how to run rehearsals, maintain a show “dropbox” (the industry standard for online communication), manage backstage crews, create industry standard paperwork like a “calling script” and eventually develop the skills required to call an entire large musical independently.
