Words are inadequate

The short answer is "no."

Lisa the costume design prof does things independently of the other two. (Makes sense; there was no lighting prof last year, so it was more that she and Randy did totally different things.) So, for costume we did designs for a commedia dell'arte version of "Androcles and the Lion."

For lighting we did some interpretations of bits from the Tao te Ching, and then finished up with two projects based on The Poem.

The Poem is a thing that Randy, the scenic design prog, wrote 10-12 years ago, based on an existing script. We had to make up a set design for the play the poem was based on without reading the play: Randy gave us vague guidelines like "it's very episodic" and "there's a scene on a bridge, and there's a scene on a loft." As time went on he added in more of these vague guidelines, making for a very frustrating design experience. It was as if he expected us to be designing to the script despite not having read it.

Next semester we get to choose from ten or so plays. I'll probably wind up with either Brecht's _Good Woman of Szechuan_ or David Henry Hwang's _M. Butterfly_. Costuming will still be its own thing, though; these are just for lighting and scenic.
