Abstract
This essay describes the process of professionalization in Mexican stage
design following the setting up of Vasconcelos' cultural program and
the effects of the process on the participation of Mexican painters in the
Mexican Modern Dance Movement. It stresses the creativity of painters like
Orozco and Soriano, among others, prior to the founding of the degree in
stage production by Julio Prieto. The passage from modern dance to
contemporary dance incorporated professional scenographers whose work in
collaboration with choreographers established a specific type of
creativity, linked to advances in the work of stage design in the
theatrical arts as a whole. The essay describes some basic conceptual
aspects of stage production and refers to concrete examples of connections
between the stage designer and the peculiarities of choreographic
expression.
