Scenography - the manipulation and orchestration of the performance
environment - is an increasingly popular and key area in
performance studies. This book introduces the reader to the
purpose, identity and scope of scenography and its theories and
concepts. Settings and structures, light, projected images, sound,
costumes and props are considered in relation to performing bodies,
text, space and the role of the audience. Concentrating on
scenographic developments in the twentieth century, the
Introduction examines how these continue to evolve in the
twenty-first century. Scenographic principles are clearly explained
through practical examples and their theoretical context. Although
acknowledging the many different ways in which design shapes the
creation of scenography, the book is not exclusively concerned with
the role of the theatre designer. In order to map out the wider
territory and potential of scenography, the theories of pioneering
scenographers are discussed alongside the work of directors,
writers and visual artists.
