TEACHING/WORKSHOP FEEDBACK
"This was one of my favourite workshops so far! It made me think about aspects of design that I hadn’t thought about before (ie. all of the colour involved). I’m very interested in pursuing design for theatre in the future and this workshop inspired me to give it a try!"
"It was pretty cool being able to see behind the scenes of what it takes to create set, costume, and lights. It made me really realize how much I do like to create and design concepts!"
"I enjoyed how interactive it was."
"Very detailed and thorough. Inspired us to use our ideas and put them down visually."
"I really enjoyed blobbing and imagining and drawing scenes and characters. Learned how costumes are processed and envisioned."
"Loved listening to Ksenia talk about her love of designing. Can really tell she loves what she does. Very inspiring. The models and pictures she brought in were very fun and cool to see. My favourite part was when she explained the metaphors used to design the set. Great day!"
"I had a lot of fun learning about set and costume design. I liked learning about the process to create the magic the audience sees on stage. I feel like I have a greater appreciation for the people that do the behind the scenes things."
