i'm dr peter cooling i'm an assistant
professor
in the school of english and theater
studies and i'm teaching theater
workshop
our theater workshop is going to be
great because we're going to be using
all of the tools of kind of
multimedia as well as remote learning to
make sure that the experience
despite not being able to gather in the
theater is completely innovative
and using all these things that we have
from open broadcasting
and all sorts of online designing and
green screen and cameras
to create kind of a unexpected new
experience of theater workshop
most students week to week will be
taking part in sort of remote learning
experiences
as well as workshops i'm going to teach
you how to light from home how to design
from home
what depth of field is how green screens
and chroma key work and how to create an
audio space in your home that's perfect
for recording
and perfect for performing we want to
transform the theater experience that
you know
to something you can do in your own
space safely and
with the support of your entire
classroom we'll be using things like
slack
discord teams all these different ways
to connect everyone together
and run week to week sort of mini
workshops on all sorts of topics
theater students always love putting in
more time than typical but this will be
about
three to five hours of sort of
synchronous as well as workshop-based
online tutorials
and then as we get closer to production
later in the term you'll be expecting to
do a bit more time on the weekends maybe
four or five hours in teams
as we build and get ready to put on our
production virtually
in a remote fashion for everyone to see
theaters have always been shut down
during times of plague or sickness this
happened to shakespeare it happens
time and time again and so we need to be
ready in theater to know what we do when
our theaters close
you should not think about not enrolling
in the fall because our fall will be a
chance to upgrade your skills
with video work with camera work with
lighting sound design
all of these multimedia and digital
skills will help you be a real
theatrical design
thinker someone who's not just engaged
with performance but with all aspects of
production which is what we really hope
to give you
out of enrolling here at the school of
english and theater studies
