ABOUT THE TITLE
'Directors & 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.
