Abstract Details

2009, MFA, Kent State University, College of the Arts / School of Theatre and Dance.
I propose as my thesis project to fulfill the multiple roles of Paint Charge for two productions and Paint Manager for the 2008-09 school year at Kent State University School of Theater and Dance. These roles will demonstrate my capability to accomplish the artistic and managerial responsibilities of a professional Theatrical Scenic Artist. The role of Paint Charge will encompass two main stage productions, one each semester for my final academic year. During the first semester I will be Paint Charge for Three Sisters directed by Mark Monday with scenery designed by Raynette Smith. During the second semester I will be Paint Charge for Twelfth Night directed by J. R. Sullivan with scenery designed by Steve Zapytowski. As Paint Charge I will take the designer’s concepts, painter’s elevations and ideas of how the production should be visualized and produce them full scale on stage for the audience. My tasks as Paint Charge include (but are not limited to) testing and establishing paint colors and techniques, budgeting the materials and labor needed, scheduling duties and work stages, problem solving to make sure all work is done in a timely manner and checking in with the designer and director to make sure all the concepts and ideas are kept. Documentation of these tasks will include but may not be limited to; interpreting the designer's paint elevations, conducting paint tests, attending design and production meetings, planning and maintaining the budget for paint, developing and documenting paint colors and recipes. As Paint Manager my responsibilities for the academic year will include, but are not limited to; maintaining a safe working area, overseeing the paint practicum students and working with the Paint Charge for every show. My thesis paper concludes with a self evaluation of all the progress, successes and failures that I made in the year working as a Theatrical Scenic Artist.
