On Design Language
Kristina Tollefson
Vice-Commissioner, Costume Design & Technology Commission
The session, Common
Language for Designers, scheduled
for Saturday afternoon at the 2005 Conference & Stage
Expo will discuss the variety of terms and
approaches to the elements and principles
of design in each design discipline. The panel
will explore the idea of enhanced director/designer
and designer/designer collaboration through
a common set of terms. To this end, the panel
would appreciate your input by responding
to a few short questions. Responses can be
e-mailed to kristina@tollefsondesigns.com,
faxed to 407-823-6446, or mailed to Kristina
Tollefson, University of Central Florida,
Box 162372, Orlando, FL 32816-2372
