A guidebook for creating three-dimensional theatre art

the long version

Ann Carnaby calls upon her years of experience to share with the reader her approach to creating artistic yet functional theatre art - from identifying the goal of the piece, to selecting the right tools, materials, and techniques, to adding just the right finishing touches. Her suggestions are intended not as recipes but as guides to encourage the reader to think of new and creative ways of meeting the many challenges presented by live performance. A Guidebook for Creating Three-Dimensional Theatre Art describes the process of creating props ideally suited for their individual application. It is a guidebook that utilizes and incorporates the skills of the milliner, puppeteer, wig maker, costumer, set constructor, properties master, or cobbler in achieving the goals of each project.
