Theatrical visual planning
Stage design is the art and practice of creating the visual environment for theatrical, operatic, or other live performances.
It encompasses sets, backdrops, props, and spatial arrangements that establish setting and mood.
A stage designer collaborates with directors and lighting designers to realize a production's visual concept: The stage design evoked a crumbling Victorian mansion.
