Scenography Studio: Miniature worlds and set Design

A hands-on workshop where participants design and build miniature film sets to tell stories through space.

This workshop introduces participants to the fundamentals of scenography and set design through the hands-on creation of miniature film and theatre sets. Its main purpose is to teach how space, light, objects, and atmosphere are used to tell stories visually. Participants translate ideas, emotions, and narratives into physical environments, gaining a clear understanding of how designed spaces shape meaning and experience. Key themes include visual storytelling, spatial composition, scale and proportion, material exploration, lighting and mood, and set construction techniques. The workshop also covers basic concept development, moodboarding, and presentation skills, guiding participants from an initial story idea to a finished scenographic scene and short filmed sequence. Academically and professionally, the workshop introduces an interdisciplinary field that connects architecture, interior design, fine arts, theatre, film, and game design. It builds foundational design thinking skills—concept development, spatial awareness, and visual communication—that are essential across creative industries. The hands-on, project-based structure mirrors real-world creative workflows used in scenography, production design, and experiential design practices. The workshop addresses the emerging trend of immersive and narrative-driven spaces, driven by cinema, streaming media, video games, themed environments, and experiential exhibitions. As audiences increasingly seek emotional and spatial storytelling, the demand for designers who understand how environments communicate stories continues to grow. Offering this workshop provides high value by making a complex discipline accessible, engaging, and easy to grasp for beginners, especially teenagers. It encourages creativity, collaboration, and confidence while introducing participants to a rapidly expanding creative field with real academic and professional pathways.
