- Abstract
Scenography Expanded: An Introduction to Contemporary Performance Design. The editors identify three ways in which scenography has been re-structured during the twentieth century, before proposing to explore scenography from the perspective of the spectator, rather than via the role of the scenographer. The focus of I Expanded Scenography i is therefore on what scenography I does i and I how i it does it, rather than processes of making and designing, and this opens the book out to a wider readership who might be interested in how scenography intersects with dramaturgy and performance. Scenography here is shown operating as a medium, "a context where affective embodied scenography offers a powerful, vibrant and even explosive learning medium" (184).
