| Statement:
Design Class work focuses on collaboration between the director, other designers and performers, as well as the nuts and bolts of how to get a show up in New York City. Supporting classes in draping and costume crafts give students real skills to help them realize their projects. Through our association with the Playwrights Horizon's Theatre School, design students have the opportunity to work with many young directing students. Students also work on mainstage shows in a variety of capacities: initially as assistants, but in their last year as designers. In addition, there is a tremendous amount of production at all different levels (the department mounts over 100 productions a year) so that students get plenty of practical design experience. Because we are located in New York City, students are able to gain practical professional experience through our third-year internship program.
