Other Fun Stuff

Larry Fields’ new show is hilarious. Just ask him. Just as the title suggests the show is a fun, off-the-wall take on a talk show based around a series of rapid-fire random questions. Guests are all FTF alumni—both past and present, featuring performers, directors, designers, etc.—all the kinds of people who make FTF possible. This is our way of celebrating our great and talented artists both on stage and off—and it’s a gig in the pandemic! This episode features Company Member Lucy Nuñez.

Branding does not need to be a capitalist enterprise. It's a form of representation that allows you to interact with your audiences, focus on your process, foster community, and deepen the impact of your work. How can we devise a visual identity for marketing communications that embody our values ? How can we design a digital presence that is both complete and concise? In this class we'll ask ourselves hard questions about what impressions we want to make, to whom, and toward what purposes. We'll craft logos, fonts, color palettes, tag lines, elevator pitches, and more.
