Beskrivning

This enlightening study explores the set design drawings for theatre and live performance, highlighting their unique qualities within the greater arena of drawing practice and theory. The latest volume in the Drawing In series, Scenographic Design Drawing encourages an interdisciplinary dialogue in the field of drawing with the inclusion of illustrations throughout.Scenographic design drawings visualize the images in the designer’s ‘mind’s eye’ early in the design process. They are the initial design tool in the creative engagement with theatre, opera, dance, and non-text-based performance. It is, in particular, this body of drawings that is unique as both a performative and a theatrical representation of multiple worlds within the ‘stage space’. Sue Field illuminates this illustration process and identifies how these drawings have functioned and developed over time.Scenographic Design Drawing serves to satisfy an emerging global curiosity and a thirst for new knowledge and understanding in relation to the drawings executed by the historical and contemporary scenographer. This work addresses a critical research gap and shows how the scenographic design drawing continues to be a principal site of innovation, subjectivity, originality and authorship in theatre and live performance.

Recensioner i media

Sue Field reveals the astute savant she is through this well researched examination of theatrical drawings. She has captured the zephyr that emerges when a designer’s marks on paper transmit to the viewer the soul of a theatrical work. Line by line and blotch by blotch, Field interprets a lineage of theatre drawings to generate a visual awakening in the viewer. Exploring the semiotics of imagery and layered revelation in the picture plane, Field’s own drawings vibrate with compositional and graphic tension, where the viewer is asked to link metaphor, memory and meaning.
