University of Sydney ARTiculate Drama | Giving shape to the world of a play: Getting started with set design
Thursday 7 November 2024
Theatre, above all, is a spatial artform. It’s about defining the relationship and energy flow between audience and performer; it’s putting ideas into space; it’s finding a physical form to convey the emotional landscape of a play.
In this webinar, we are delighted to host award-winning set and costume designer, Isabel Hudson, who will be in conversation with Dr Paul Dwyer from the Discipline of Theatre and Performance Studies.
While our focus is on set design, the underlying principles are, of course, also directly relevant to other HSC Drama Individual Projects in Design (e.g. costume and lighting) and Critical Analysis (e.g. director’s folio and portfolio of theatre criticism).
University of Sydney ARTiculate Ancient History | Vesuvius AD 79: The day after
Thursday 7 November 2024
For over three centuries, the story of Mt. Vesuvius has largely centred on the dramatic events of the AD 79 eruption, freezing time at that catastrophic moment. But what about the aftermath? How did the land, and the people who lived there, bounce back? Many believe that the area never fully recovered, but recent discoveries tell a very different story—one of resilience and renewal.
In this talk, we’ll explore the lesser-known effects of the eruption and how they shaped the landscape and its communities in the years that followed. By diving into new archaeological findings, we’ll piece together the resettlement of the region, examining how different areas of Mt. Vesuvius were affected and how the local communities adapted.
