Staging the Spectacular: Designing for Stadiums and Festivals

Staging the Spectacular: Designing for Stadiums and Festivals
21 November 2013
Victoria & Albert Museum
London, UK

From intimate black box spaces to huge stadiums and festival stages, design is central to our experience and interpretation of live performance. The Victoria & Albert Museum, in partnership with the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space, organized the symposium for practitioners, artists and theorists that examined use of performance design for large stadiums and festivals in order explore the spectacular and the creation of spatial/performative/social relationships in the context of large-scale scenography as performative environment.
