This course is a continuation of Contemporary Scenography. It focuses on developments and key topics in scenography over the last 50 years. Building on knowledge from the previous semester, students will continue to examine practices, styles, and artistic and ideological principles of theatre makers in Europe and beyond who have used performance space and design in new and unconventional ways to contest the aesthetic, and sometimes political, norms of their communities. Special attention will be paid to how contemporary scenography is shaped by digital technologies, while also expanding the discussion toward decolonial practices. Through the analysis of visual and audiovisual materials, the course will explore the work of artists and companies including Katie Mitchell, Ivo van Hove, Robert Lepage, Troika Ranch, The Wooster Group, Chunky Move, Christiane Jatahy, Yaël Farber, and Nora Chipaumire.Students are invited to bring their own examples of 'memorable' use of scenography to enrich our class discussion.

Attendance Requirements

Students must attend at least 4 out of 6 classes to successfully complete the course.
