Summary: | How does a designer harness something as elusive as the human imagination to create a set that will complement and enhance a dramatic production? What steps are involved in making the jump from a script's text to an engaging imaginative stage? <p>In From Page to Stage , author Rosemary Ingham explores the relationships between text analysis, imagination, and creation. Heavily illustrated with striking examples, the book covers:</p> the who, what, where, how, and (maybe) why of text analysis moving from dramatic text to theatrical event imagination and knowing: what imagination is and how it relates to memory what happens when the designer's imagination meets the script and much more. Also included are photo/interview essays, in which Ingham ultimately asks the designer "how will your interpretation affect an audience/individual/society intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and politically?"
