Revolutionary Spaces is an exploration of the art of theatrical set design. From challenging gravity to creating a language through non-realistic imagery, Revolutionary Spaces explores the interaction of the audience and the stage. This project questions how and where the viewer experiences recognition and intuitive understanding of the content of a performance as it relates to the environment of the action on the stage. The intent is to channel this exploration into writing a book on the effects of abstract imagery as they apply to set design.
