Set Designer

Each play needs a Set Designer, to create the three-dimensional picture described within the play…..or even sketched on the last page of a script.

Together with the Director, the Set Designer produces the building blocks amongst which the actors perform. Starting with an idea/sketch, then building a model (however primitive), the designer brings the stage to life. He/she dictates the style of play, the setting, the colours, the dressing of the set, and together with the Wardrobes, Props, Lighting, and Effects departments' input, helps the actors/directors complete a play that will enthrall an audience.

Bingley Little Theatre performs EIGHT plays per season……one roughly every six weeks. Ideally we need one Set Designer per play, although some designers enjoy it so much they willingly do 2 or 3.

Obviously we know months in advance of a performance what plays have been chosen, and therefore the Set Designer is able to dictate his own pace of work/involvement…although the six weeks prior to the play will need hands-on, at least 2 nights per week.

Do you feel you could create a set or help to. Would you like to work alongside other creative people to show us how its done or learn from those of us who think they know ???
