Sets, Scenes and Environments: Janet Bird

Janet Bird studied Theatre Design at Nottingham Trent University and Scenography at Wimbledon School of Art. Below are her designs for Chris Goode's 'Queer Up North', Ibsen's 'Doll's House' and Michael Frayn's 'Alphabetical Order'.

The expressionistic attic space of the teenager's bedroom in 'Queer Up North', with its starry ceiling and popular culture motifs, contrasts strongly with the austere, everything-painted-grey moodiness of the design for Ibsen'd 'Doll's House'.

Her online portfolio can be found by following this link

Sets, Scenes and Environments: Richard Finkelstein

Students might find some inspiration in the work of Richard Finkelstein here.  Some of the sections on this website show set models or drawings alongside the realised design.  Some also suggest that Finkelstein has adapted narratives to different genres (see the modern dress Geisha costume in the Greek tragedy, Clytemnestra).  Enjoy!

The above are a drawing and fully realised set for Moliere's 'Tartuffe' (1664), transcribed into a more modern (sub)urban genre.
