Scenography Expanded is a foundational text offering readers a
thorough introduction to contemporary performance design, both in
and beyond the theatre. It examines the potential of the visual,
spatial, technological, material and environmental aspects of
performance to shape performative encounters. It analyses examples
of scenography as sites of imaginative exchange and transformative
experience and it discusses the social, political and ethical
dimensions of performance design. The international range of
contributors and case studies provide clear perspectives on why
scenographic design has become a central consideration for
performance makers today. The extended introduction defines the
characteristics of 21st-century scenography and examines the scope
and potentials of this new field. Across five sections, the volume
provides examples and case studies which richly illustrate the
scope of contemporary scenographic practice and which analyse the
various ways in which it is used in global cultural contexts. These
include mainstream theatre practice, experimental theatre,
installation and live art, performance in the city, large-scale
events and popular entertainments, and performances by and for
specific communities.
