Description
Theatre and Performance Design: A Reader in Scenography brings together key writings from diverse fields to explore the visual composition of performance. Organised into five thematic sections, this collection examines the forces that shape understanding of theatre and performance design. By integrating analysis of all production elements, it provides a critical framework for studying scenography. Contributors include leading figures such as Josef Svoboda, Richard Foreman, Roland Barthes, Oscar Schlemmer, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Richard Schechner, Jonathan Crary, Elizabeth Wilson, Henri Lefebvre, Adolph Appia and Herbert Blau. This unique anthology recognises the interconnected role of all production elements in creating meaning. A valuable resource for those interested in theatre, performance studies, fine art, philosophy, and the social sciences, this major collection offers a much-needed critical and contextual framework for analysis.
