How can a designer harness something as elusive as the human imagination to create a world that will complement and enhance a dramatic production? What steps are involved in making the jump from a script’s text to an engaging imaginative stage? From Page to Stage explores these questions offers advice for reading and understanding playscripts and provides a clear detailed method for identifying collecting and organizing script facts. Heavily illustrated with striking examples it addresses: the who what where how and (maybe) why of text analysis what happens when the designer’s imagination meets the script moving from dramatic text to theatrical event. Also included are photo/interview essays which ultimately ask the designer “How will your interpretation affect the audience/individual/society intellectually emotionally spiritually and politically”? Updated with new interviews illustrations and current trends and processes this guide will inform students and working designers on how to design a script for the stage. |From Page to Stage How Theatre Designers Make Connections Between Scripts and Images | Theatre and Performance
