Why is Sound a Design September 14, 2017 Dave Mickey, Chair, Dept. of Theatre & Dance |
We can see lights, costumes and the set design in the theatre, but since we cannot see sound is it still a design? We will explore sound as an element of story telling and how sound design can change the way we experience content. We will be listening to student's work from my advanced sound design classes as well as my professional work. |

Revealing the "Inner Landscape" of Dancers through Graham-Based Technique October 26, 2017 Lisa Long, Choreographer, dancer, educator and licensed massage therapist. Modern Dance, Theatre & Dance Dept. |
Exploring the DNA of dance from Martha Graham through three generations including our CSUF dance students is Professor Lisa Long’s passion. You will be treated to video of demonstrations of the strength-building technique, designed to reveal the “inner landscape” of each individual dancer as well as performance footage that illustrates these concepts in action on both professional dancers and upon our very own students. Follow the career of Ms. Long and how she arrived at CSUF to teach the next generation of dancers what it means to be as both Einstein and Graham stated, “An Athlete of God.” |

Theatrical Makeup: Transformation into an Animal November 30, 2017 Katie (Kathryn) Wilson, Assistant Professor of Theatre, Costume Design [brand new faculty member] |
Kathryn Wilson is a new assistant professor in the Department of Theatre and Dance at CSUF with considerable experience in designing costumes and makeup for theater, dance, opera, and film productions. She received her Masters in Fine Art at the University of California, Irvine. Professor Wilson has designed and worked with many local, national, and international theater groups.
