Material sustainability on scenographies for theatre performances : Sustainability assessment for scenographic activities

Abstract: Theatrical scenography is developing its methods to address its ecological impacts. This research observes the stages already accomplished by certain theaters and scenographers. Also acknowledges how expertise in sustainable product design can be transferred to scenography design and processes. The results of this research offer insights into how to apply sustainability criteria in relation to scenographic processes analysing how international practitioners work. The study also offers a qualitative assessment tool as a means of estimating the overall sustainability of scenographic practices. This tool monitors the entire scenographic cycle from conception to recycling and helps to visualize and compare weaknesses and achievements.
