What is Scenography? by Pamela Howard (Routledge, 2002) explores the world of scenography, theatre design and theatre making from a critical viewpoint. The book is a personal study from a recognised professional: Pamela Howard (b. 1939) is a director, scenographer and educator currently working primarily in opera and contemporary music theatre.

The book is thematised into seven chapters: Space, Text, Research, Colour and Composition, Direction, Performers, and Spectators. The illustration consists of black-and-white drawings for various stage and costume designs drawn both by Pamela Howard and her colleagues.

Scenography – the creation of the stage space – does not exist as a self contained art work. Even though the scenographer may have studied fine art and be by instinct a painter or a sculptor, scenography is much more than a background painting for the performers, as has often been used in dance. Scenography is always incomplete until the performer steps into the playing space and engages with the audience.
