Inhabiting the Meta Visual: Contemporary Performance Themes

This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016.

Theatre and the many varied expressions of performance practice in live and mediated performance forms, are by their nature inter-disciplinary. The goal of this volume is to develop discussion with a focus on the visual aspects of performance brought up by artists and researchers in various performance disciplines and practices. The volume facilitates inter-personal communication and the exchange of global perspectives, to engage a community in meaningful dialogue. Scenography describes the discipline of performing arts, which include all elements of theatrical presentation. As a definition here it is useful for this volume, because it outlines the understanding of scenographic practice as a combination of numerous theatre-practices that collaborate and include: architecture, lighting, costume, make-up, sound, settings and stage properties, movement, as well as audience participation.
