Pamela Howard: "Directors and Designers is There a Different Direction" Analysis

-Creation according to the famous architect, Adolphie Appia meant the synthesis of light, space and performance which is achieved by someones own personal vision.

 

-In the twentith century the move from perfromance in the playhouse to a new space created a new type of theater, one that explored the elements of using the enivromnet as part of the scence.

 

-This move of space, changed the relationship between the designer and the director, where they would emerge to create a new product of vision and text.

 

-Just like any artist, it is often challenging to work to gether and see the same vision as one another. Picasso for example is regarded as one of the greatest artist that ever lived, however some people and other artist don’t care for his work at all. That is were personal vision of creation comes to a challenge for directors and designers because they must work together to ulimatly create the same vision.

 

-Phillip Prowse a director, was not that interested in design he explained, but rahter created around him a team of interprutors that could understand his visula vocaulary.

 

-Pointing to a different direction, designers become architects of space and the space itself becomes a major part of the production.

 

-A historian and thinker..Theodore Zeldin encourages theater designers to move away from the sterotypes and defentions and instead focus on making the indiviual creation imaginative and unique.
