What's the difference between a routine production and a truly visionary one? Where does "vision" come from, and what kinds of collaborations and artistic processes can lead to visionary results on stage? In this graduate level seminar -- intended for advanced designers, directors, playwrights, and actors -- participants will gain hand-on practice with a number of key concepts that provide a framework for collaboration among all the members of a creative team. We will then analyze a number of visionary productions (on video) from both the United States and Europe, and learn about the collaborative processes that led to them. Finally, small teams will be formed to select their own projects and engage in their own visionary collaborations.
