Biography
Dr. Rachel Hann is Lecturer in Scenography, University of Surrey, UK.
"[Beyond Scenography] remains a thought-provoking and much-needed theoretical contribution to the sprawling domain of scenography studies and related performance disciplines. The book’s hugely relevant and historically underpinned theoretical take on such diverse topics as installation art, interior design, gardening and marketing renders it essential reading for a much broader academic audience. […] I recommend Beyond Scenography as necessary reading for scholars, students and practitioners engaged in cross-disciplinary studies of art and performing arts history and practice, architecture, urban sociology and beyond."
