Theatre Without Walls

Production Design Course

We recently completed an exciting 5 week-long bespoke theatre design initiative.  A small group of 8 students with an interest in theatre design and the production arts were given the opportunity to work with studio three sixty° an award-winning multi-disciplinary theatre design practice.

This was an exciting and stimulating educational project where our students were supported and encouraged to draw from their surroundings, history, and interests to design viable and exciting performance spaces that could be situated at their heart of their communities.

Our students were inspired by a design process that enabled them to develop individually, growing in confidence and understanding of their own potential.  By the end of the 5-week initiative, the students presented their very own, very beautiful pop-up theatre designs for a variety of locations across Scotland.

Sound like something you’d like to get involved with?
