Scenography

Stage technology and mechanisms were already being talked about in Greek theatre: it is no coincidence that the character in one of Aristophanes’ comedies dialogues precisely with a stage technician. Since then, the course of the history of the theatre and those who work for it behind the scenes has been long and ever-changing until the period of affirmation of Italian-style theatre, after the 17th century.

A scenographer does not dance and does not write texts, a scenographer designs and plans, translating the ideas and feelings of a director regarding the text he will stage into an image that from sketch becomes drawing, then model, technical board and then real object in a stage space. The set design is an expression of what the director and set designer feel about the text.

Finally, we created a self-evaluation with questions related to the basic manual and tutorials above.

The self-evaluation can be done through different formats in order to make it more accesible:

  1. A test in google forms
  2. Microvideos with the same questions in stories on instagram with poll (will be uploaded during the week)
  3. Self testing on the online platform genial.ly: See below.
