The Tempest model 1by ~martsmalabs

Designs & Interfaces / Theatre Design

This is my final project for a production design class I took last year. It is a scale model for William Shakespeare's "The Tempest".

Since the main character Prospero was some sort of sorcerer (among other things), I related his character to Leonardo Da Vinci--a person whose ideas were also considered radical during his time. I also had the idea of executing the magic sequences using Da Vinci's weird machines and contraptions (but that was beyond the scope of the project). Anyway, I incorporated these ideas into the design by using Da Vinci imagery everywhere(including the costumes, although I do not intend to include the sketches here). The photograph features the basic set, with additional drops at the back.

*This model was made as an exercise for design and model-building only--the play was not actually performed.

I like the correlation between Da Vinci and Prospero, an interesting idea indeed!

Beautiful set!

One question, what is the ramp made out of? I sort of have a ramp in my scale model that I'm doing for my production class and I can't figure out how to make it. Thank you!

Equity would have a fit about your lack of railings.

This is really cool.It's neat because it's really simple but very fascinating.

i like it very much. the scientist as magician? why not.
although i always imagined something with cool colours. strange how personal imagination varies...

~ZaraMoro Mar 10, 2008

Wow that is a revolutionary idea. Prospero = Da vinci. hmm...
and here when im having to think of how i would design the tempest all i can think of is scary caves.
but i think ill stick with them.

but any way its great to see someone expanding his horizons in interpreting shakespeare.
keep up the good work.
