Course Synopsis Stagecraft is an interdisciplinary course
that involves design and construction
techniques, costume preparation, and the
application of colour composition. The
course is best taught as a laboratory
course, with the student learning to use
the appropriate Stagecraft techniques for
a particular situation. The Stagecraft
teacher may use students as a technical
crew on a school production and it is felt
that this experience will be beneficial for
students as they will see application of
their new skills.
Rationale Stagecraft is an integral part of the art form called theatre. It embraces many activities that are
both theoretical and practical, technical and creative. In Stagecraft, students should be provided
with opportunities to create functional and aesthetic acting environments by combining their
natural talents with newly acquired knowledge and skills.
Stagecraft is very different from other drama courses offered in the British Columbia Secondary
Drama Program. Its focus is on production skills and the technical operation of the theatre.
Other drama courses offer the development of the student actor and an understanding of the
acting tradition. The Stagecraft course requires that the student actually produce artifacts for the
theatre.
Of special note at this point is the importance of safety in Stagecraft. The most important aspect
of the teacher’s role is to ensure safety in the classroom and to inculcate safe working practices
among the students. The student should be aware of general safety practices and the teacher
should make adequate preparation for any emergency that might occur.
