Essentials of Period Style: A Sourcebook for Stage and Production Designers covers the visual, social, and political dynamics of multiple epochs and cultures and discusses how these trends affect the design of the architecture, costumes, and furnishings of the time. It then relates these characteristics and cultural movements to the design needs you'll encounter as you design a period production. Each chapter contains examples of period style in both theatre and film from a variety of notable productions and a glossary of specialized terms and words used in the chapter. Technological and aesthetic developments that affect design, lighting, and music are also included.

Michel Saint-Denis was one of twentieth century theatre’s most influential directors and theorists. This book combines his seminal Theatre: The Rediscovery of Style with material from Training for the Theatre, newly edited to create a work which moves seamlessly from theory to practice. Theatre: The Rediscovery of Style collects five of Saint Denis’ key lectures, given during his time in America, and perfectly encompasses his synergy of classical theatre and modern realism Training for the Theatre is a key practical resource for actors, directors and teachers alike. It covers crucial areas such as understanding a play’s context, training schedules, improvisation and dealing with stage space, as well as a section on Saint-Denis’ use of masks in actor training Theatre: The Rediscovery of Style and Other Writings benefits from Jane Baldwin’s new biographical introduction and annotations, that put Saint-Denis into context for a contemporary audience. It brings a wealth of inspirational material both to the rehearsal space and the classroom.

Originally published in 1981. This study concentrates on one aspect of Victorian theatre production in the second half of the nineteenth century – the spectacular, which came to dominate certain kinds of production during that period. A remarkably consistent style, it was used for a variety of dramatic forms, although surrounded by critical controversy. The book considers the theories and practice of spectacle production as well as the cultural and artistic movements that created the favourable conditions in which spectacle could dominate such large areas of theatre for so many years. It also discusses the growth of spectacle and the taste of the public for it, examining the influence of painting, archaeology, history, and the trend towards realism in stage production. An explanation of the working of spectacle in Shakespeare, pantomime and melodrama is followed by detailed reconstructions of the spectacle productions of Irving’s Faust and Beerbohm Tree’s King Henry VIII.

From the Blurb: Effective costume design is a subtle art, for the impact of stage dress can immediately convey historical perspective, insights into individual characters, and a visual complement to the setting. Douglas A. Russell, whose years of experience as a costume designer have made him a master of the craft, examines every detail of the complex process. From script to production, Professor Russell guides the reader towards a complete understanding of costume design, for his work encompasses critical, aesthetic, practical, and historical viewpoints. On the one hand, Stage Costume Design is a practical manual which provides a step-by-step scheme for the construction of a costume. Every technical aspect-sketching, design and composition, color, fabric and pattern selection, accessory construction, ornamentation, and production organization-is here discussed with precision and clarity. Probing beyond mechanical problems, the author also investigates costume in terms of color association, the effect of fabric under light, and the structure of costume as personal expression. At the same time, this exemplary guide is the first in its field to emphasize costume design as an art as well as a craft; no other volume has so thoroughly explored the relation of costume design to the other arts of sculpture, architecture, and painting. By comparing period style to costume design, Professor Russell offers an entirely new artistic perspective too often overlooked in traditional texts. Although costume designing is shown to be a very complicated process, Professor Russell's introductory text will surely reward all who study it with care.
