The discipline investigates the contemporary addresses of the stage,
articulated according to two aspects:
- the
first one is about the radical changes of the theatrical performance and
the scenic space in the twentieth century; thematic story is addressed
through a historical excursus of the deep modifications that involve
theatrical writing, the scenic space, the places designated to the show
through emblematic case studies;
- the
second aspect is about of theatrical production technologies, which is an
interpretation of the term technology: secondly, the processes of modifying
material and immaterial elements in scenic spaces will be discussed, with
technological transfer from artistic and other productive fields.
For the first aspect the changes in the text, body and space uses will
be showed, starting from some pioneers -authors, scenographers and architects-
faced through the historical period which culminates in the elaboration of the
Ivrea Manifesto on the New Theater. A particular look will be dedicated to
productions born from ‘scenic scripts’ without a reference text upstream of the
project, in which the scenography has an active dramaturgical role in the
structure of the show, as an element of representation of places to
"space-story".
For the peculiar aspects of theatrical productions: artistic, technical,
regulatory and organizational aspects, trying to respect the sustainability
strategies for theatrical bodies, with attention to the aspects related to the
regeneration of social and territorial contexts.
Sketches and executive
projects of scenography will also be analysed (material provided by the
teacher).
The student will be able
to deepen some aspects treated in collaboration with theatrical bodies, during
interesting laboratories.
