From Page to Stage : How Theatre Designers Make Connections Between Scripts and Images
Other Available Formats
Overview
The second edition of the classic industry text From Page to Stage: How Theatre Designers Make Connections Between Scripts and Images explores the relationship between text analysis, imagination, and creation of theatrical design.
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.
