Making a Scene: Contemporary Scenographers and Experiential Storytellers

Deep in the hyperreal, social-media age of digital dissonance, experiencing a live performance with others has never been as powerful. Making a Scene unpacks the vision, perspectives and processes of the most influential scenographers worldwide, whose approaches to staging are reshaping the stories we tell and the ways in which we experienced them. Covering theatre, dance, brand spectacles, pop stars' stadium tours, super clubs, opera and more, Katie Baron offers an unprecedented window onto the work of a wide range of creatives, all interviewed especially for the book. Their capacity to manipulate atmospheric tension, stoke emotional connections, communicate the usually unseen or unspoken, and even incubate community and communion, has propelled in-the-moment stagecraft to new heights.
