Church Production Magazine: As one attempts to unravel staging and set design practices, several questions become apparent: what is good design? Who should be the final authority on an effective stage design? What elements play into the success from both an aesthetic and functional standpoint? What processes should be in place for a design regardless of size or scope?

This article covers something I have been learning to manage more and more when it comes to scenic design: collaboration. A designer has to be able to account for more than just space and aesthetic when creating a set. Everything in a show has work cohesively together. Before coming here, I had considered design as more of a one man show, but it truly is a group project. Every person on the creative and production team knows a lot about a specific aspect, and all of that knowledge put together is what makes the process successful. This article reminded me of the 4 primary resources Kevin talked about in class and being sure you properly manage your budget, time, people, and space. Using your budget properly and preparing yourself for the future, without over planning and not accounting for a variable future is something I have not had to think about. I liked that the article gave insights from multiple people working in different places, because it goes to show that collaboration is important in all venues, but the process is different is still for every production, because the scenario is constantly changing and everyone is different. Theatre and design are things that are constantly shifting and changing and you have to be able to account for any and all complications and variables – and that's what I love about it.
