Re-Imaging Mae-Naak Through Mise-En-Science: The (Re) Construction in Scenic and Costume Designing Work

Abstract

This paper is a study of the conceptualization and the creation of scenic and costume designing for the experimental dance performance entitled ‘JUST DANCE’, in CA Creative Research Project 2016. The creative wok study is aimed at illustrating and explaining, the analytical interpretation of performance concept, with critical perspectives on stereotypical formation, to create theatrical designing works. The study shows the concretization of ideas from critical perspectives into creation of scenic and costume designing work. The creation was executed with composition of utilized elements by means of artistic and functional effects. The working outcome, through the crystallization of critical thinking, was the concrete objects that reflex and transform the ironic (or ambivalent) status of the protagonist, from the position of otherness to become a female active agency for own subjectivity.
