Synopsis
The use of film and video is commonplace in contemporary theatre, viewed by some as contaminating theatre's 'liveness', by others as inevitable and desirable. Beginning with early practitioners such as Melies, Painleve and Piscator, "Staging the Screen" proceeds to explore in detail, the recent productions by Svoboda, the Wooster Group, Forkbeard Fantasy, Forced Entertainment, the Builders Association and Robert Lepage. It charts the impact of developing technologies on practices in sceneography, dramaturgy, and performance, and addresses critical issues raised by multi-media and intermedia work.
