AMERICAN THEATRE: What is the role of race in theatrical design? An innovative symposium at the Park Avenue Armory a few weekends ago asked visitors to consider the question. As part of the venue’s conversation series, Making Space at the Armory, “Sound & Color: The Future of Race in Design” brought together artists and designers working across the disciplines of costume, lighting, set, and sound for a groundbreaking collaborative enterprise.

I clicked on this article in the hopes to expand my knowledge on diversity through design, half stay at the races. You don’t begin to talk much about how what we discuss affects how we should pursue design in theater and in film and this article does a really good job of explaining some of the important things to address starting with how The very basics of lighting design was meant to be a light colored thing in the middle of a dark room, and how that inherently teaches lighting designers. It’s not know how to light for any other skin tone. Some of the commissions that they produced for this symposium are really interesting And I wish I could’ve experience that myself. I really like help interactive they appear. And I can tell that every single one of them was very moving. It’s very well-known that our industry is very flawed, and it’s difficult to write the wrongs and create a welcoming environment, for everybody just because of how deeply rooted, the racism is. As we continue to create more works like this, I hope that it inspires more BIPOC designers to pursue this as a career and expand the viewpoints in the theater in film industries.
