Programme
The course investigates the relationship between scene and image in some twentieth-century experiences with reference to the influence of past art in modern depictions of theater and dance. Drawings dedicated to the body in motion and those related to space and light will be observed, interrogating the images of theater as testimonies or as projects and visions. A special focus will be devoted to photographic images and commercial and artistic collaborations between performers and photographers by examining the technical and aesthetic peculiarities of the two languages and the artistic and cultural characteristics of their relationships.Core Documentation
