Essentials of Period Style : A Sourcebook for Stage and Production Designers

Essentials of Period Style: A Sourcebook for Stage and Production Designers covers the visual, social, and political dynamics of multiple epochs and cultures and discusses how these trends affect the design of the architecture, costumes, and furnishings of the time. It then relates these characteristics and cultural movements to the design needs youll encounter as you design a period production. Each chapter contains examples of period style in both theatre and film from a variety of notable productions and a glossary of specialised terms and words used in the chapter. Technological and aesthetic developments that affect design, lighting, and music are also included.
