Opera is a human-centered art form, created by and for people. Too often, though, productions and performances are treated like "products" to be sold in the entertainment "marketplace." Design thinking focuses on serving the needs of people through listening, exploring alternative solutions, testing and tinkering with programs, listening again, and tossing away what does not meet specific needs. This session examines process frameworks that support different human-centered design objectives.
