Instead, they will rely on atmosphere, found lighting, and live sound effects to bring the genre to life. Students will have two days to prepare and execute a one-minute memorized scene that showcases their design choices. Use this lesson at the end of the year, after a major assessment, or following a year-end/semester-end production.
