TEACHING AREAS/INTERESTS:

| |
RESEARCH AREAS/INTERESTS:
Sustainable Theatre: Examining the way in which the theatre industry works, specifically as it relates to my own areas of expertise. This includes finding ways to reuse materials, reduce waste, and reduce use of electricity and expendable items in theatrical lighting. |
| |
| Projections for the performing arts: Projection, meaning the creation of images using light, is a hugely under-developed field in the entertainment industry. It is typically viewed as being prohibitively expensive and complicated, or is undertaken under the erroneous assumption that it is as simple as plugging in a slide projector. I focus on non-traditional applications of light in production. The technological side of this includes the physics of light, the technology of lamps, lumens, lenses, photometrics, photography, computerized data projection, and electronics. The artistic side of this includes the history of stage effects using such methods and the integration of light with performance. The overall application of this development has been to make high-quality projections both feasible and reliable in a production environment without grossly heightened expenditures. |
| |
| Computer aided design and modeling: I have worked at developing a system of design wherein all components of the final package are generated on computer in an holistic manner. The components of a scenic design package, for example, include a variety of types of drafting which detail the entire set and all of its components in scale with notes and measurements. It includes frontal depictions of every piece of scenery in color, and it includes a three-dimensional depiction of the final product as intended. By integrating a variety of methods and software, a photo-realistic rendering can be produced which can be automatically updated by changing a single detail in one part of the total package. |
| |
| HTML based aids for teaching and production: Communication is the primary necessity for both of these aspects of theatre. Hyper-text markup language is an invaluable tool in this respect. I have developed web-based stage management aids, and advising tools for the Theatre program. I have used the Internet to post complete design packages, and have built HTML driven classroom aids. |
