CELEBRATING INNOVATORS OF THE TOTAL THEATRE SCENE DESIGN, STAGE ARCHITECTURE AND SPACE

Abstract

The need for the creative forces of the playwright, the directors, actors, designers and architects as well as the dexterity of the general crew to forge and constitute a cohesive, force effort in the development of a successful theatre production cannot be over-emphasized. If as artists, we are to fully appreciate the impact of what the likes of Adolph Appia, Gordon Craig and the doyenne Efua Sutherland spent a large part of their lifetime to achieve in order that theatre might be what it is today, and ought to be in the already-here tomorrow and the inseparable interplay of the academic thinker’s invaluable inferences and the practically creative academic’s tangible exhibitions and demonstrations.
