On Scenography
Issue editors: Sodja Lotker & Richard Gough
ISSN: 1352-8165 (2013) 18:3
Our understanding of scenography has, over the course of the twentieth century, changed radically from stage design as decoration, depicting a location of a (written) play, to the scenic/spatial construction (or intervention) of the place and site of performance - scenography as a dynamic element in the creation of performance dramaturgy.
