Short Desc	:	Seventh video interview clip with Theatre Designer Chris Dyer
Description	:	Question: Do you work through sketches and models or does one proceed the other necessarily or do you work with ...? Answer: When you first start to develop a relationship with the director then you use everything, you make nice models with lots of nice figures and you do finished costume designs. As a relationship develops then you can start to make short cuts and suggest what the model is like, suggest what the costumes are like because you start to talk a kind of language that you understand and the director kind of knows if they say a particular thing to you, they begin to know what direction you will go and if you say a particular word they will understand what that word means. So after a couple shows, then you are able to cut down on that kind of thing. I mean, as I said before, you just keep an eye on the way that rehearsal is developing and you just need to make sure that what the actors are working with, in terms of what you've designed, is going to work and isn't going to be a problem when they get on stage.
