SCENOGRAFIA E TECNOLOGIE PER LA PRODUZIONE TEATRALE

• lectures,
• lectures with experts,
• theatrical shows and critic discussions,
• Mid-Term tests.

The discipline investigates the contemporary addresses of the stage, articulated according to two aspects:
- the first one is about the radical changes of the theatrical performance and the scenic space in the twentieth century; Thematic story is addressed through a historical excursus of the deep modifications that involve theatrical writing, the scenic space, the places designated to the show through emblematic case studies;
- the second aspect is about of theatrical production technologies, which is an interpretation of the term technology: secondly, the processes of modifying material and immaterial elements in scenic spaces will be discussed, with technological transfer from artistic and other productive fields.
For the first aspect the changes in the text, body and space uses will be showed, starting from some pioneers -authors, scenographers and architects- faced through the historical period which culminates in the elaboration of the Ivrea Manifesto on the New Theater. A particular look will be dedicated to productions born from 'scenic scripts' without a reference text upstream of the project.
For the peculiar aspects of theatrical productions: artistic, technical, regulatory and organizational aspects, trying to respect the sustainability strategies for theatrical bodies, with attention to the aspects related to the regeneration of social and territorial contexts.
The student will be able to deepen some aspects treated in collaboration with theatrical bodies, during interesting laboratories.
