Design in Action (with Lucie Dawkins & Zoë Hurwitz)

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

For: directors, actors, and designers

Join director Lucie Dawkins and designer Zoe Hurwitz for a workshop about reimagining design as a collaborative process which can happen live in a rehearsal room. Bringing together actors, directors, and designers, this is an opportunity to put design into action. We’ll look at a scene all together, bringing together our different perspectives to build a design that is a living part of a shared creative process.
