My most significant goal coming into graduate school was to design a musical that would be produced for the stage. Prior to entering the program, most of the designs I had done were single set interior unit sets. Musicals provide a certain challenge when it comes to designing multiple locations that should be unique but cohesive to each other and the world of the play. Even more challenging, in my opinion, is figuring out how to transition between scenes in a way that is not only practical and functional, but also visual. Aside from my desire to design a multi location musical, I also wanted to challenge my creativity as a designer. Being that I had mostly designed single set interiors, I wanted to learn or incorporate a process that would open up my imagination to more than just buildings or cutouts of apartments that have been adapted to fit on a stage. For my thesis project, I was assigned as the set designer for Head Over Heels which was the perfect musical to test my ability to create a multi location design that was just as imaginative as it was functional. The following essay describes what that process was like after having spent three years in the program and learning various skills throughout my courses and classwork. / Theater
