dc.description.abstract | As a scenographer working across the fields of sustainability and performance design, the subject of impermanence and its impact upon environmentally responsible practice is both ubiquitous and complex. The ephemeral and specific nature of theatrical work means that most set and costume designs are only of value for the duration of the performance season— often a matter of days or weeks—before they are discarded.1 Even digital projection and lighting have hidden impacts that extend beyond a stage production. At first glance, the notion of designing for ephemerality while also considering a work’s extended ecological effects constitutes a certain irony—a contradiction of approaches rather than complementary perspectives that can enrich design aesthetics. However, whilst there are challenges to implementing sustainable approaches in theatre production, this essay proposes that considering the impermanence of performance design and its aesthetic and environmental implications opens up exciting new avenues for exploration, including new ways of designing for an ecological paradigm across disciplines. | |
