Cameron Anderson is an internationally acclaimed scenic designer who creates environments for theatre and opera rich in emotional resonance and symbolic meaning. In a professional career spanning more than two decades, Anderson has distinguished herself as a visual storyteller par excellence. The virtuosity of Anderson’s work is evidenced best by her expansive portfolio, which includes designs at many of the world’s leading theatre and opera companies.
A hallmark of Anderson’s designs is an evocative play with scale, exaggeration, distortion, and embellishment. These more expressionistic elements serve to defamiliarize the familiar for spectators, thereby inviting them to grapple with, say, the interior life of an opera’s central character or a latent theme in the textual unconscious of a drama in unexpected ways.

This new section was born as a permanent laboratory, created with the intention of enhancing a path that will allow us to communicate to our readers, the development of professional experiences presented by some major protagonists of the international scene and with them: university professors, set designers, visual designers, media performers, lighting invited to discuss with the intention of reasoning and developing project plans through an exchange of experiences.
Each month we will present documents, video presentations, documentaries, which we wish to target teachers and students from the Academy of Fine Arts and Universities, in order to establish a network of research, training and development in the field of scenography and new media.
