Beskrivning

Focused on the contemporary Anglophone adoption from the 1960s onwards, Beyond Scenography explores the porous state of contemporary theatre-making to argue a critical distinction between scenography (as a crafting of place orientation) and scenographics (that which orientate acts of worlding, of staging). With sections on installation art and gardening as well as marketing and placemaking, this book is an argument for what scenography does: how assemblages of scenographic traits orientate, situate, and shape staged events. Established stage orthodoxies are revisited - including the symbiosis of stage and scene and the aesthetic ideology of 'the scenic' - to propose how scenographics are formative to all staged events. Consequently, one of the conclusions of this book is that there is no theatre practice without scenography, no stages without scenographics. Beyond Scenography offers a manifesto for a renewed theory of scenographic practice for the student and professional theatrical designer.

Recensioner i media

"[Beyond Scenography] remains a thought-provoking and much-needed theoretical contribution to the sprawling domain of scenography studies and related performance disciplines. The book’s hugely relevant and historically underpinned theoretical take on such diverse topics as installation art, interior design, gardening and marketing renders it essential reading for a much broader academic audience. […] I recommend Beyond Scenography as necessary reading for scholars, students and practitioners engaged in cross-disciplinary studies of art and performing arts history and practice, architecture, urban sociology and beyond."Astrid von Rosen, University of Gothenburg, Theatre and Performance Design, 7:3-4, 240-241, DOI: 10.1080/23322551.2021.2003155
