Materials provided for the design will be - Silk, Paper, Battens, String, Twine, Rope, and Wire of different kinds and Paint.

The students will be formed into two groups mixing culture. Each of these groups will present a performance (of the same description above). Each of these two groups will be divided into sub groups with scenic designers working together, costume designers working together, and lighting designers working together, etc. Each sub-group will have a faculty mentor.

Day 2 October 11 – Students will work together in the morning to create design concepts. At noon student group leaders get together to coordinate ideas between sub-groups. Afternoon students will work further within their groups doing specific design activity. After dinner there will be large group presentations to the full-assembled group.
Day 3 October 12 – Practical work to accomplish the designs. , At the end of the day, there will again be each of the two groups making a presentation of design evolution.
