The Stage is a Dangerous Machine

by Aronson

George Tyspin has emerged as the primary designer of the postmodernism movement.
His range of work is astonishing. a film that he has designed is called The Cabinet of Dr. Ramirez.
He also recreated an environment for a one man show of his design-inspired sculptures at the Twining Gallery in New York.
He was awarded an Obie for his design work.
Metal is his favorite material because it is a material capable of sleek beauty and strength but also capable of distortion and decay.
There is usually a physical danger on his sets. A good example of the way he uses metal is in the Opera "The Electrification of the Soviet Union".
He received an MFA in design from New York University in 1984 at age of thirty.
His work style is the hallmark of the so-called postmodern style. His approach is organic.
His set design is different, he concentrates on the architecture or the props and the buildings on the stage.
Tyspin would rather do theater than movies because theater is more imaginative and film is more realistic. The imaginary space that you don't see onstage is the actual life essence of the show. He take time to create his sets and this sets him apart from all the American designer.
He puts a lot of love into his models of the sets.
He thinks European productions are more daring than American productions and he wants to get away from safe.
Glass has a lot of poetry in it ans goes to the heart of theater it take light in such a beautiful way.
Directors and actors envision the world differently.
