Research, analyse + evaluate creative works
As part of Art + Design programmes of study, the award-winning multi-disciplinary design
inspirations,strategies, processes, and methodologies for Wicked will engage and inspire learners,
particularly in relation to Textile and Three-Dimensional Design.
The critical and contextual evaluation and analysis of creative works and practitioners, materials,
techniques, processes, and work practices used within the production will assist in delivery of a
broad and balanced Art + Design curriculum, as a key contributor of SMSC values.
"A magical mystery tour through the fantasyland of Oz" (Evening Standard), set, costume,
lighting,
sound, projection, prosthetic mask, make-up, and hair and wig designers worked in collaboration with
director Joe Mantello to conceive and deliver the production's internationally acclaimed designs.
