Scenography Studies – on the Margin of Art History and Theater Studies
Art Inquiry. Recherches sur les arts 2014, vol. XVI ISSN 1641-9278 Dominika Łarionow Department of Art History, University of Łódź [email protected] SCENOGRAPHY STUDIES – ON THE MARGIN OF ART HISTORY AND THEATER STUDIES Abstract: Scenography as a domain of artistic activity has always been a liminal art, placed between the visual arts and theater, with the latter being treated as a chiefly literary domain. The history of scenography to date has recorded two moments when it rose to prominence, becoming the “queen” of the spectacle: the Renaissance and modern times. The article will briefly discuss its history, to show the main reasons for the exclusion of scenography from the domain of academic research. The author will survey some recent publications on set design written by practitioners and academics. Keywords: set design – scenography – history of theater – theater. Scenography as a domain of artistic activity has always been a liminal art, placed between the visual arts and theater, with the latter being treated as a chiefly literary domain. Its roots reach back to the theater of ancient Greece. Even during that period, it was already a marginalized discipline. Aristotle noted in his Poetics, which can be partly regarded as representative for the ideas of his time, that although a spectacle is the work of the skenograph, its significance depends on the craftsmanship of the playwright. Therefore, he acknowledges the quality that scenography contributes to the spectacle, but in order to achieve catharsis, that ancient category associated with the reception of a work of art, a work of great literary value is needed. -

An Excursion to and from Situational Urban Scenography
Tactics of the Other Everyday: An Excursion to and from Situational Urban Scenography Mengzhe Tang Abstract: For a scenographic reading of urban settings, attentions are directed to the small, mundane and the everyday, which penetrate the non-institutional, always neglected, but most underlying aspects of urban life. Scattered in the most ordinary corners around the city, the scenes framed by a scenographic scope could nevertheless touch upon spatial, imaginary and situational potentials in perceiving and understanding urban spatial phenomena, diverting from the real and rational into the scenographic “other world”. These small, everyday yet partly surreal scenes, coupled with the notions of Tactic (Michel de Certeau, 1984) and Construction of Situation (Guy Debord, 1957), further come to a political gesture of resisting (destroying) the overwhelming institutionalization and standardization of contemporary life, as well as urban spaces. This progress from framing, association to tactics delineates a theatrical excursion departing from the real city into the fictitious, and eventually returning back to reality, yet with some residue imaginary subversive passion in turn to transform the real urban space. Introduction: In the poetic film The Color of Pomegranates (Tsvet granata, Armenfilm 1969), the film director of Armenian descent Sergei Parajanov, with his melancholically archaic and theatrical cinematic language, created a fascinating and dream-like world, in which the life of the Armenian poet Sayat Nova and his particular epoch gradually -
Scenography, Landscape and Memory in Estonian Open-Air Performances
TRAMES, 2008, 12(62/57), 3, 319–330 ENCOUNTERS IN LANDSCAPES: SCENOGRAPHY, LANDSCAPE AND MEMORY IN ESTONIAN OPEN-AIR PERFORMANCES Liina Unt University of Arts and Design Helsinki Abstract. Landscape and human memory are in a reciprocal relationship – landscape sustains a certain kind of remembering while memories keep it from changing too much. Living in and looking at a landscape can be regarded as acts of remembrance, where the landscape is not scenery, but a stage of action. Theatrical performances given in landscape present a special case, since they use the existing landscape for a fictional one. Regardless of the scope of scenographic intervention, landscape is experienced as an immediately present multisensory totality that the audience and actors share. This transdisciplinary study shows that theatre employs landscape memory on multiple levels (actual site of events, connotations of the landscape, the relationship between fictional history and visible markers). Scenography has the capability to reflect, express and change the relationship between landscape and memory. Productions staged in Estonian landscapes in 2000-2006 exemplify the extent that theatrical representation rests on (and benefits from) landscape memory. DOI: 10.3176/tr.2008.3.07 Keywords: environmental aesthetics, landscape, memory, performance research, scenography 1. Introduction In open-air theatre, the site of performance can be regarded as instrumental to the performance. Theatre is a synthesizing form of art, where different art forms complement one another and contribute to the process of meaning-making. Performing in ‘found space’1, which is the case in open-air theatre, makes the 1 ‘Found space’ marks the practice of performing in sites that are not built for theatre. -

Marathi Theatre in Colonial India the Case of Sangeet Sthanik-Swarajya Athva Municipality
Südasien-Chronik - South Asia Chronicle 5/2015, S. 287-304 © Südasien-Seminar der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin ISBN: 978-3-86004-316-5 Tools of Satire: Marathi Theatre in Colonial India The Case of Sangeet Sthanik-Swarajya athva Municipality SWARALI PARANJAPE [email protected] Introduction Late nineteenth and early twentieth century colonial India witnessed a remarkable change in its social and political manifestations. After the Great Rebellion of 1857-8, the East India Company, until then domi- nating large parts of the Indian subcontinent, lost its power and the 288 British Crown officially took over power. The collision with the British and their Raj, as the British India was also called by its contem- poraries, not only created mistrust among the people and long-term resistance movements against the impact of foreign rule, it also generated an asymmetrical flow between cultural practices, ideologies, philosophies, art and literatures. This is evident in various Indian languages and Marathi is no exception. Marathi is one of the prominent modern Indian languages and the official language of the State Maharashtra. According to the Census of India 2001, it is the fourth most spoken language in India, after Hindi, Bengali and Punjabi. Traces of satire in Marathi literature can be found in the literary works of Marathi writers as far back as the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. By the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, during the colonial era, satire was abundantly used in the literature of Western India. Satire for these Marathi intellectuals – themselves products of the British colonial encounter – was a powerful literary mode to critique the colonial regime and the prevalent social evils of the time. -

Scenography 1:1 – Direct Experience and Use of Space, As Design Tools
Scenography 1:1 – Direct Experience and Use of Space as Design Tools in Educational Activities Performance Design Pedagogies International Conference, Barbican – London 15 March 2018 Andreas Skourtis Architect, Scenographer Lecturer in Scenography, The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama Founder and Artistic Director, Performing Architectures Good morning, I am Andreas Skourtis, a practicing architect and scenographer, and lecturer in scenography at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama –University of London. In 2015 I founded, and I am artistic director of, Performing Architectures, a London based company that works internationally, and creates architectural, theatrical and scenographic spaces, merging practice and research through creative interdisciplinary laboratories. In my creative practice, and teaching practice, in the process of developing and creating three-dimensional scenographic places, I focus a lot on how to use different architectures as scenography tools. I always try to use as much as possible, and whenever I can, a space (a rehearsal room – or a studio theatre- a field) as a live 'drawing board'; and the bodies of the director, the scenographer and the actors, and sometimes some animated materials, as 'pencils'. I learn by listening the space, and I always try to inform my teaching with that learning. During research and development for a public production of A Midsummer Night's Dream I designed last year at Central, I read an article by Peter Brook, from which the following quote is: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama 2017, photos from rehearsals ©Andreas Skourtis ‘…in the visual arts, ‘concept’ now replaces all the qualities of hard-earned skills of execution and development. -
Re-Imagining Scenography in Relation to Art History: Contact Zones and Crossroads
Re-imagining Scenography in relation to Art History: Contact zones and crossroads AAH2017 43rd Annual Conference & Art Book Fair Loughborough University 6th - 8th April 2017 Carmen González-Román Art History Department. University of Málaga (Spain) [email protected] Title: Appropriations and Hybridizations between Visuals Arts and Performing Arts in the Early Modern Age: A transdisciplinary research project and a methodological proposal. I´d like to start by giving thanks to the whole organization of this important event and, especially, to the convenors of this panel: Doctors Astrid von Rosen and Viveka Kjellmer for accepting my paper and for all their kind guidelines. Besides, I must say I´m glad because of the content of the papers presented here today, mainly focused on contemporary arts, which proves how the studies on scenography in relation to Art History are expanding. However, my paper is focused on Early Modern Age, because from my point of view, the influence exerted by the performing arts on the Visual Arts during the Early Modern Age constitutes a fundamental aspect of the history of European art that has not been studied in all its dimensions. To date, studies undertaken from the field of the history of art have focused mainly on the analysis of drawings of scenery or costumes preserved, or have put the focus 1 on the role played by well-known artists in the design of ephemeral architecture, scenography and costumes. In recent decades, we have been witnessing a growing interest by historians of art toward the study of festivals in the Early Modern Age, an interest that has been directed mainly towards the analysis of iconography and ephemeral architecture built on occasion of such events. -
