Scenography and Design FPB319
Hobart, Launceston
Introduction
Scenography and Theatre Design are integral to contemporary performance. In this unit you will explore how Theatre Design and Scenography create performance environments that both convey meaning and generate performance. Theatre Design incorporates the crafts of costume, set, lighting and sound design. Historically, scenography refers to the creation of scenic art for the theatre, but in contemporary performance, scenography integrates the visual and aural elements of a production. This unit explores how these technical elements of theatre are ‘written’ or ‘painted’ on the performance space and the performer.
