ABOUT US
SCSA STUDY CENTRE SCENIC ARTS
The Study Centre for the Performing Arts (SCSA) is a publishing house that aims to create a pan-European open workshop to promote the collective skills of set designers and other design professionals.
We publish books and documents in digital and print formats and bring to light everything related to the performing arts, with particular attention to the professional training of young students and graduates.
We organize annually, in collaboration with theatrical institutions and professionals, events, festivals, exhibitions and conferences.
THE SCENOGRAPHER was founded in 2002 when it began collaborating with the Art Directors Guild of Los Angeles, the American association of set designers. During this period, we published dozens of articles showcasing the skills of production designers in the United States, essentially covering the design of American film production from 2003 to 2010.
We've gathered all this fascinating material into a vast historical collection, starting with an interview with legendary production designer Ken Adam. Issues followed with interviews and articles with Michael Corenblith, Grant Major, Richard Sylbert, Guy Hendrix Dyas, Alex McDowell, Patrick Tatopoulos, and Scott Chambliss.
