Special Report: Education
Design School vs. Tech School: Which One Is Best for You?
Should aspiring designers receive only artistic training for their craft, or should they learn about the more technical details of the job? Conversely, do technicians only need to know about the nuts and bolts, or should they gain an appreciation of the artistic side of the business? Ted Ferreira talks to representatives from a variety of educational institutions about this topic, including North Carolina School for the Arts, the University of Cincinnati, Kansas State University, UCLA, Cal Arts, DePaul, SUNY Purchase, Carnegie Mellon, the Yale School of Drama, New York City Technical College, and Full Sail.

Film: From Hell
In the latest from Allen and Albert Hughes (Menace II Society), production designer Martin Childs (Oscar winner for Shakespeare in Love) recreated a 25,000-sq.-ft. section of the seedy Whitechapel district of London, grim home to Jack the Ripper's victims, in a field in Prague. Though the thriller is based on a graphic novel, Childs opted for realism in his rendering of the neighborhood, from its saloons, hovels, and opium dens to the authentic cobblestones that make up its streets. John Calhoun reports.
Designer Business: Student Productions
What happens when professional designers work on college theatre productions? Everybody learns something. Participating colleges include Loyola, San Francisco State University, University of Michigan, University of Denver, Duke, and Cal Arts. Davi Napoleon reports.
Technology: Performer-Controlled Stage Environments
Jeff Burke of UCLA’s Hyper Media Studio discusses a recent project his group did on a mainstage production of Ionesco’s Macbett, in which sensors were used to allow performers to directly affect production equipment. What are the design implications of this still-emerging technology?
