Theatre and Performance Design: A Reader in Scenography is an
essential resource for those interested in the visual composition
of performance and related scenographic practices.
Theatre and performance studies, cultural theory, fine art,
philosophy and the social sciences are brought together in one
volume to examine the principle forces that inform understanding of
theatre and performance design.
The volume is organised thematically in five sections:
- looking, the experience of seeing
- space and place
- the designer: the scenographic
- bodies in space
- making meaning
This major collection of key writings provides a much needed
critical and contextual framework for the analysis of theatre and
performance design. By locating this study within the broader field
of scenography ? the term increasingly used to describe a more
integrated reading of performance ? this unique anthology
recognises the role played by all the elements of production in the
creation of meaning.
Contributors include Josef Svoboda, Richard Foreman, Roland
Barthes, Oscar Schlemmer, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Richard Schechner,
Jonathan Crary, Elizabeth Wilson, Henri Lefebvre, Adolph Appia and
Herbert Blau.
