Overview

Stagecraft is the technical aspects of theatre, including lighting, sound, props, and costumes.

  • Costumes: This is very important in terms of audience visibility.
  • Setting: The most visible part of any production is the setting.
  • Audio: This can be used as a tool to set moods and evoke feelings.
  • Special Effects: Fog and pyrotechnics are often used in theatre performances to enhance moods in a production.
  • Rigging: Set pieces, lighting equipment and sound speakers are often flown over the heads of both actors and audience. Rigging is very dangerous, because not doing it properly can cause death.
  • Make-up: This is needed in theatre performances because lights tend to flatten facial features.
  • Lighting: This provides a tool for setting moods and tones of scenes on stage.
