PQ Talks 16 June - Where to from Here? Towards the Future of Scenographic Practices

Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space 2023 PQ Talks: Where to from Here? Towards the Future of Scenographic Practices This panel challenges the borders of common scenographic applications. It offers a platform through which we aim to critically engage with the issues of our time as we explore the agency of our practice. In 2020, with the arrival of the pandemic, the world paused. We suddenly found ourselves in the middle of nowhere. Performances left theatre buildings and other venues. Spatial performativity changed at all levels. Since our last meeting in Prague, daily actions had taken on a level of theatricality that transcended those of staged performances. This heightened theatrical nature of the new experience (also) stemmed from the ongoing global state of anxiety, uncertainty, and previously unknown uncanniness of spatial experience. This panel embraces that contemporary scenography is an open concept! We therefore offer a platform for discussion, guided by case studies from different parts of the globe, exploring the agency of our practice in the present moment. In doing so, we challenge the boundaries of common scenographic applications and critically engage with the issues of our time and the future of our discipline.
