This course focuses on selected developments and topics in scenography of the last 50 years, guid-ed by the following questions: What is scenography today? How did we arrive at our current un-derstanding of it? And what are the consequences of defining the field in the particular way? We will examine practices, styles, and artistic and ideological principles of theater makers in Europe and beyond who have used performance space and design in new, unconventional ways to contest the aesthetic, and sometimes political, norms of their communities. An important source will be Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space in its transformations. Through discussions of visual and audiovisual materials, we will explore the work of artists, such as Robert Wilson, Heiner Goebbels and Klaus Grünberg, and Tanja Beer. We will also explore ‘theoretical’ concepts and topics, including ‘scenography’ itself, visual dramaturgy, ecoscenography, and costume agen-cy. Students are invited to bring their own examples of 'memorable' use of scenography to enrich our class discussion.
