Stagecraft is a generic term referring to the technical aspects of theatrical, film, and video production. It includes, but is not limited to, constructing and rigging scenery, hanging and focusing of lighting, design and procurement of costumes, makeup, procurement of props, stage management, and recording and mixing of sound. Stagecraft is considered a technical rather than an artistic field as the focus of stagehands is usually on the practical implementation of a designer's artistic vision.

In its most basic form, stagecraft is managed by a single person (often the stage manager of a smaller production) who arranges all scenery, costumes, lighting, and sound, and organizes the cast. At a more professional level, for example modern Broadway houses, stagecraft is managed by hundreds of skilled carpenters, painters, electricians, stagehands, stitchers, wigmakers, and the like. This modern form of stagecraft is highly technical and specialized: it comprises many sub-disciplines and a vast trove of history and tradition.

The majority of stagecraft lies between these two extremes. Regional theatres and larger community theatres will generally have a technical director and a complement of designers, each of whom has a direct hand in their respective designs.

How many students graduate each year in the U.S. with degrees in theatre production (stagecraft)?
Q. How many students graduate each year in the U.S. with degrees in theatre production (stagecraft)?

A. Sorry this post is so long !! Hope it helps ! The Digest of Educational Statistics generated by the U.S. Department of Education reports 77,181 in visual and performing arts - the specificity that you are requesting (stagecraft) is not really available at a national level. Universities must report the number of degrees awarded into predefined classifications and so many programs in the area of performance studies are collapsed into the one general category of "visual and performing arts". You might get more specific information by requesting a special data run from the Department of Education using the appropriate "Classification of Instructional Program Codes - CIPs"... see this link for specific info.. Here is a summary - but the… [cont.]

Classic Frontman Moves?
Q. What are some moves that have been performed throughout history in order to involve and excite crowds? Any good ways of interacting with audiences and maintaining stage raps? I'm interested in rock n' roll overall, but any tips on stagecraft will do!
Asked by Pete J - Fri Mar 9 04:33:17 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I've noticed these things in a good frontman: they're not afraid to move. they get really into the lyrics, show emotion, the crowd loves it. and the old foot-up-on-the-speaker, that's pretty hot lol if you're feeling a bit risky there's always the stage dive make sure you work both sides of the stage so no one is left out. and of course the classic one is flattery, the crowd loves it. just one shout of "you're the most awesome crowd we've ever had" even if it's not true always gets everyone pumped up. oh and throwing things into the audience, people love to catch stuff that musos throw at them.
