Recenzii

An excellent, contemporary introduction to scenography.
The collection of essays make for an engaging and accessible examination of the myriad possibilities of the way scenography can be framed. These topics will certainly act as a catalyst for discussions on the ways in which my students will contextualise their own practice.
