Working in Theatre: Director/Designer

Have you ever wanted to combine your love of filmmaking and your love of theatre? Or to transform your childhood fascination with the Muppets into a career? Or to make really awesome masks? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, you should look to Sean Cawelti, artistic director of Rogue Artists Ensemble and a freelance designer and director who specializes in video, puppetry, and masks, for inspiration. In our latest Working in Theatre video, Cawelti discusses what it means to make video for the theatre, how the design process unfolds, the work that inspired him as a child (including Disneyland and the Muppets), his advice for aspiring artists, and why he loves his job.
