Summary:

"In this volume several broad areas of concern may be discerned. A main one is the kinds of understanding and modes of collaboration between creative artists.... Another is, of course, the exploration of approaches to design for theatrical presentation or performance by individual designers working in their designated fields. Then there is the more specifically Canadian preoccupation with designing with an awareness of cultural and regional diversity..." --from the introduction by Natalie Rewa
