The workshop will provide an introduction to scenography for theatre makers. It will focus on ideas, tools and techniques that help to create an embedded visual logic and aesthetic during the process of developing a play or staging a production. It will encourage participants to think of the visual element in a play as a fundamental storytelling device, rather than as an embellishment.
