== Aims ==

By doing this workshop, you will:
* learn about the ideas and practices of Italian Renaissance and Baroque theatre
* develop your understanding of the architecture and technologies of the theatre building and stage by means of drawing
* learn to translate written descriptions of a theatrical space into 3d drawings through careful reading and understanding of the technology and the typological space
* extend your technical drawing skills using 3d modelling software
* have an opportunity to reflect on theatre, dramaturgy, architecture and scenic space

== What You Will Need ==

=== Duration and schedule ===

The schedule is flexible. The project can be done as an intensive activity over 1-2 weeks, or as 10-15 weekly sessions with two hours for the learners to work on the text and drawing, and one hour discussion and feedback with the teacher.

The project can be shortened by drawing only selected parts of the theatre.

=== Room or type of space ===

Classroom. Alternatively, the project can be done online.

=== Equipment ===

Each student will need access to a computer with 3d drawing software such as SketchUp. A large screen or projector is useful for the teacher.

=== Materials (consumables) ===

Hand sketching materials are useful but not essential.

=== Learning resources (books, websites) ===

Canon stories:
* [[Item:Q30684|G.03 Scenography Codified: Serlio’s scenes for comedy, tragedy and satire]]
* [[Item:Q30694|G.04 How to build a Theatre: The books of Sabbatini and Furttenbach]]

Canonbase articles:
* [[Item:Q13|Nicola Sabbatini]]
* [[Item:Q24|Pratica di fabricar scene e machine ne' teatri]] – includes a link to an online version of the text

 Give a presentation to the students, introducing the project, Sabbatini and his book.
-Students then research, read and translate into 3d drawings each chapter. At regular points during the process, review the drawings being produced and give feedback. In particular, discuss any ambiguities or contradictions in the text that students have found, and how they can be resolved.

 Consider how the drawings can show aspects that might not follow Sabbatini’s text exactly, or which are uncertain, through the use of colour, for example. Explore how the drawings can be presented to best communicate the technical construction and the design intentions of the theatre to the viewer.

+Make sure students dedicate enough time to the research process before starting drawing. They should read fully the text, do some hand sketches beforehand and expand their reading with other examples.
