"Welcome to our "House""
The Production Technology program focuses on 4 major components of stage technology including, sound, lighting, rigging and set design. Students will explore apprenticeship, higher education options, career training, and professional placement. Students will learn specialized vocabulary and reflect on design elements found in school and outside productions with design analysis and critiques. They will practice important skills such as Problem solving, leadership, team building, and working well under pressure and stress. The course includes practical, critical, and cultural content and will place an emphasis on creative expression, aesthetic valuing and the practical realization of various aspects of design.
