Goodman Theatre on City Science
Have you ever thought about how math and science apply to the arts? If you’ve never thought a theatre person needs to have a knowledge of advanced math and physics, think again! In the episode of City Science provided at the link above, City Science’s Professor Mike Davis explores how science is used in theatre through lighting, costume and scenic design. Presented in three parts, this episode goes behind the scenes to focus specifically on the science of the Goodman’s A Christmas Carol. The artists and staff involved with the production provide explanations and hands-on demonstrations. As you watch, be sure to pay attention to how all the different elements of theatre are linked through science and design. Click the title to watch! Larry Yando as Scrooge. Photo by Liz Lauren
