Behind The Scenes - Contemporary Set Design

'Behind the Scenes: Contemporary Set Design' is a visually rich survey of contemporary set design for the theater, opera and contemporary performance-based work. International in scope, 'Behind the Scenes' presents the imaginative and innovative work of a broad range of designers, including Peter Brooks, Ming Cho Lee, Alison Chitty, Es Devlin, Robert Wilson, Robert Lepage, Romeo Castellucci and Chloe Lamford; and organizations such as Hotel Pro Forma, Ex Machina, Station House Opera and Punch Drunk. Featuring initial sketches, diagrams and photographs, this book provides an understanding of theater design and its methods, that—in contrast with the number of specific ‘how-to’ set design books on the market - appeals to beginners and enthusiasts, alongside students and theater professionals alike.
