THTR 101D: Intro to Set Design

For a couple of years, I've been intrigued with the idea of translating my interests in installation and narrative art to designing sets for theatre. An opportunity recently appeared when a new friend in Missoula, playwright Kate Morris (no relation), mentioned she was looking for a set designer for her newest play. Since her production is soon, the run is relatively short (Sept 30, Oct 1, 7, & 8 at the Downtown Dance Collective), the budget is limited, and the space is shared with other groups, the set will need to be simple, small, and concise.  Imagination and ingenuity will be at a premium.  To me it's seems like a perfect introduction to the craft.  Below is my concept proposal for the design.  More posts will come as things develop and are, inevitably, reworked.
