The Escola Superior de Teatro e Cinema do Instituto Politécnico de Lisboa and the Faculdade de Belas-Artes da Universidade de Lisboa, through CIEBA (Centro de Investigação e de Estudos em Belas-Artes), invite the academic community, artists and researchers to submit proposals for the II International Conference on Set & Costume Design.
Following on from its first edition, the conference aims to serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas and discussion in the field of stage design. Stage design – or scenography and costume design – is a specific field which, nevertheless, exists in close relation to the fine arts, the performing arts and architecture, amongst many other disciplines, some of which are technical. Frequently, its establishment has been through practice, and it is these creative and technical processes – heirs to a tradition of artists and masters – that we seek to contextualise in the present day, at a time when the visuality of the stage has expanded into performance design and the practice of installation.
It is important to broaden discussions on the practice, history and theory of stage design, enabling exchange across different geographical areas; but it is equally important to reflect on Portuguese practice, which is poorly documented and in need of study and archiving.
In this edition, in addition to the sections dedicated to artists and researchers, students and emerging artists are invited to participate in a section specifically dedicated to exploring and testing ideas.
Proposals addressing, amongst others, the following topics are welcome:
- History and theory of set and costume design
- Creative processes
- Case studies
- Teaching set and costume design
In the section “students and emerging artists: 1 IDEA + 1 IMAGE”, we invite collaborations of around 5 minutes, based on the presentation of an idea and an image.
