Inhalt:
Directors and Designers offers the reader insights into the working relationships of people in these significant and creative roles. It charts an understanding of the way in which these roles have developed over the last century with specific chapters on both the personalities and on the works created by these directors and designers. White has selected chapters which look at theatre and site-specific performance, the phenomenological, contested readings and mis-readings that can occur; the power of place and space and the signifying practices of scenography. The use of simultaneous playing spaces of the stage as a feature of twentieth century performance practice, alongside exemplars of collaborative models possible between directors and designers are also addressed in this volume. A string of visual languages for theatrical communication and aesthetics, space and the cognitive reception of design by the audience, and the manipulation of space by the director and designer, illuminate the creative relationship for the reader
