Scenography ndash; the manipulation and orchestration of the performance environment ndash; 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.
