The course has been designed to train students in the broad field of skills needed for the creation of sets and props for the entertainment and event industry; these include construction techniques in wood, metal and flexible materials, modelling, casting and carving for a range of applications including special effects and soft props, scenic art and finishing techniques; underpinning the development of staging craft lies the study of design generation and interpretation through 2-dimensions, technical drawing,model making and computer-aided design; as with all Northbrook Theatre courses, collaborative live practice is central to the production crafts pathway, as is study of the cultural, theoretical and professional context; all students undertake work experience.
