Throughout the past decade, scenographic practice and performance design have continuously moved beyond the black box of the theatre toward a hybrid terrain located at the intersections of theatre, architecture, exhibition, visual arts, and media. Spaces that are at the same time hybrid, mediated, narrative, and transformative result from a trans-disciplinary understanding of space and a distinct awareness of social agency. These two factors of expansion may be regarded as the central driving forces in contemporary scenographic practice and thought.
In preparation for the Intersection Project in June 2011, the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space issues an invitation and a Call for Papers for 3 international scenography symposia held in Riga, Belgrade and Évora during 2010. The symposia will engage with notions of spectatorship, artists/authors, and curating in relation to the diverse artistic positions in contemporary spatial design. Expanding Scenography 1-3 will be followed up by a publication.
