spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/11200 From designer through space to spectator : tracking an imaginative exchage between the actants of a scenographic event Louw, Illka Theatre and Performance Includes bibliographical references. The aim of this enquiry is to deepen the understanding of the author's practice as theatre designer, scenographer and visual dramaturge in a postdramatic milieu. This study creates a theoretical frame for a research-led performance that is especially dependent on the release of 'active energies of imagination' (Lehmann, 2006:16). The performance will take the form of a scenographic event,which does not depend on 'the principles of narration and figuration' (Lehmann, 2006:18). Instead it relies on a 'visual dramaturgy ' in which just as in front of a painting, activates the dynamic capacity of the gaze to produce processes, combinations and rhythms on the basis of the data provided by the stage' (Lehmann, 2006:157). The study proposes that the release of 'active energies of imagination' (2006:16) extends beyond the space of the live event, tracking its origin to the interaction between the designer and the materials of her art. 2015-01-03T18:22:52Z 2015-01-03T18:22:52Z 2013 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11200 eng application/pdf Department of Drama Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
