Overview

The Theatre and Interaction Design programme from Northeastern University offers both classroom and experiential learning in areas of acting, directing, playwriting, and design practices.

Design is the practice-based discipline raising important questions about—and providing significant answers to—how we live. Designers are needed when we don’t know what is needed.

Designers propose alternative futures and create new choices using design principles and processes to create, compose, and construct meaning in diverse knowledge fields. Designers seek a broad understanding of principles and systems of perception, communication, and action.
