Theatre, performance and technology: the development of scenography in the twentieth century. Christopher Baugh. Palgrave, 2005. 272 pages. Hardback 47.50 [pounds sterling], paperback 15.99 [pounds sterling] ISBN (hb) 978 1403916969, (pb) 978 1403916976. In Theatre, performance and technology: the development of scenography in the twentieth century, Christopher Baugh convinces his reader that, instead of being a footnote to theatre history, technology should be considered integral to our understanding of the way theatre has developed. With works such as Philip Auslander's Liveness, performance and technology is a hip topic. Baugh's contribution aptly illustrates that the interdependence between technology and art is clearly not a new development. Baugh portrays the technological aspects of productions as more than background, but central collaborators to a performance. The book has an ambitious scope, including scientific discoveries along with contemporaneous developments in visual art. Baugh provides eloquent examples of the ways in which scientific discoveries and theatrical innovations interrelate: from obvious examples such as the invention of electricity, hydraulic systems and sound recording, to not so obvious influences such as Einstein's theory of relativity, the concept of sub-atomic particles and the x-ray. Additionally, Baugh convincingly refers to the influences of the Futurists, Cubists, Impressionists, and the Bauhaus on theatrical aesthetics. Throughout, Baugh exhibits extensive knowledge and investment in his subject matter, providing plentiful examples and historical contextualization. In his prologue, Baugh poignantly describes his childhood joy at categorizing his mother's button box, utilizing the memory as a metaphor for a Derridean archive. Working to resist a linear narrative, his book utilizes a worthy methodology, yet some of his classifications and chapter titles do come across as random. Baugh organizes the majority of his chapters thematically around innovations in set design, lighting and architecture. By doing so, each chapter may be useful on its own to specific disciplines, but I wanted the book's main points to be tied together more succinctly. In addition, the book's organization induces Baugh to reintroduce various theatre-makers and movements throughout the book, which proves awkward at times. After a beginning chapter providing a somewhat overwhelming look at various technological developments during the nineteenth century, Baugh hits his stride when looking at the modernists' multiple rejections of realism. Baugh re-examines the 'big bangs (36) of theatre history, providing a technological edge. Baugh utilizes his metaphor of 'the scene as machine-as a physical construct that theatrically locates and enables the public act of performance'(46) to further explore such important contributions as Craig's screens and Meyerhold's biomechanics. …" @default.
