Abstract
Scenography is the key topic of the upcoming issue and we are pleased to announce that the scenographer, Simon Donger, is one of our authors. In addition to working as a stage designer, director and curator, he is also an academic member of staff and course leader at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama at the University of London where he was involved with developing the master programme in scenography. His current projects include two productions for the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow for which he designed and implemented interactive projections. His article “Lebendiges Licht – Theatre Space” goes into more detail. We asked him in advance about his method of working and his collaboration with the Bolshoi Theatre. In addition, a video clip shows the design work for the ballet, “A Hero of Our Time”, and parts of the performance.
