a| World Scenography 1975-1990 is the first in a new book series documenting significant and influential set, costume, and lighting design from around the world. It encompasses material from more than five dozen countries, representing the work of hundreds of contributors, and documents circa 430 works of theatrical design for all forms of performance, from theatre and dance to opera and spectacle. Featured designers include Tony and Drama Desk Award-winner Maria Bjornson of France/UK (Phantom of the Opera, 1988); German designer Achim Freyer, winner of the Prague Quadrennial's lifetime achievement award (Woyzek, 1989; The Magic Flute, 1982); Sun-Hi Shin of Korea (A Bicycle, 1983; An Encounter, 1990); Canadian designer André Caron (Cirque Réinventé, 1987 for Cirque du Soleil); and veteran Broadway designer Robin Wagner (A Chorus Line, 1976; On The Twentieth Century, 1978; Dreamgirls, 1981). Among the many other notable designers documented are Boris Aronson, David Borovsky, John Bury, Richard Foreman, David Hockney, Tadeusz Kantor, Yannis Kokkos, Ralph Koltai, Valery Levental, William Ivey Long, Alejandro Luna, John Napier, Cameron Porteous, Josef Svoboda, Ichiro Takada, Joe Vanek, Ladislav Vychodil, and Robert Wilson. McKinnon and Fielding led an international team of researchers and associate editors to produce World Scenography 1975-1990. The World Scenography book series was inspired by and seeks to build on the foundation established by the four volumes of Stage Design Throughout the World that were edited by Belgian professor René Hainaux. Sadly, that wonderful series ended its documentation and publication in 1975. McKinnon and Fielding plan to do two more volumes documenting 1990-2005 and 2005-2015. They then hope that others will then pick up the torch and prepare subsequent volumes each decade thereafter.
