Edward Gordon Craig was a theatre designer, actor, visionary and the first British theatre artist to write a book of theatre theory. Rejected by the British theatre establishment he was embraced by the French and the Russians, most notably Stanislavski. Adolphe Appia was a Swiss designer and philosopher of theatre, and the first to write about theatre as a visual art form. In his collaboration with the Swiss choreographer, Dalcroze, he instigated a revolutionary approach to movement and scenography.
The event will include contributions from Richard Beacham, Christopher Innes, Henryk Jurkowski, Michael J. Walton, Harvey Grossmann, Mischa Twitchin, Christopher Baugh, Ruth Mandel, Irene Eynat-Confino and Kirsten Dehlholm.
