Today scenic design is taught and classified into two types… Box Sets & Unit Sets.
I would like to propose additional scenic design classifications (which can be viewed above and are listed below). Each week I will focus on a different classification. Now, some of these can be combined and it could even be debated that some of these “classifications” are the same but, by redefining the terms we use as designers, artists and theater practitioners we can further develop what scenic design is, can be and will be as the theater progresses.
Got a question, comment, thought? Hate it? Love it? Think I’m a fool? Got something to contribute? I want to hear from you! Let’s get a discussion going!
Atmospheric: “Tartufe” - Katrin Brack
Box: “Venus in Fur” – John Lee Beatty
Green: “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson” – Donyale Werle
Digital: “The Magic Flute” - Esther Bialas
Found Space: “The Drowned Man” – Felix Barrett, Livi Vaughn & Beatrice Minns
Installation: “Death of a Salesman” – Narelle Sissons
Light: “Passing Strange” – David Korins
Material: “Don Giovanni” – Frank Gehry
Motion Based: “Replacement” - Barbara Ehnes
Unit: “Ragtime” – Derek McLane

Man hat immer gesagt, das Theater wird nicht mehr existieren, wenn es Fernsehen gibt. Bücher sollten verschwinden als die Computer kamen. Das Tolle ist, das alles nebeneinander existieren kann. Meines Erachtens beeinflußt und befruchtet es sich gegenseitig. Ich finde Comic strip, Fotografie befruchten auch die Malerei. Alles, was es im Leben gibt, muß in Kunst einfließen. Das ist das Spannende.
