Entertainment Design

The show design is the degree that will reveal all the secrets of the performing arts to you so you can create and coordinate your own shows and performances.

What is show design?

All the shows staged carry behind them very intense work and production by many people who combine their arts to bring it to life. Show design is a career dedicated to the comprehensive creation and overall art direction of a show.

Show designers are the ones who work at the forefront of the staging; they are the ones who recreate a script on a stage, bringing it to life. Their work is different from that of the film director: the show designer moves on a stage and each performance of the show is the very realization of the work.

The show designer coordinates and directs all aspects of a stage idea together with his team with the goal of successfully bringing a work to life.

What do show designers do?

The job market for graduates of the show design degree is in the world of theater, music and all the arts that involve a staging. Frequently, show designers work in theater companies, in large-scale productions or in smaller productions. They are also hired by bands or orchestras to coordinate the staging of the musical show, for example in operas or in many rock shows. Others work designing circus shows, such as for example at the Cirque du Solei.

Performing arts are many and varied, and show designers will find their job and professional growth opportunities wherever their own passions take them.
