About
Design on a Dime will explore how to create prop and set items for productions with a limited budget. Bygone Theatre’s Emily Dix will share general props tips and tricks to create the right aesthetic for your production as well as share her expertise on vintage design. Do you wonder how you take design sketches and visual references and turn those items into reality? This session will include examples from previous Bygone Theatre shows and a hands-on opportunity for all participants to build an item from scratch! (Supplies will be provided)
