UNIVERSITY OF KWAZULU-NATAL
Letter of Consent
l, Susan Donaldson-Selby, am currently registered for my Masters Drama and Performance Studies at the University of KwaZulu Natal. I have been lecturing set design for the last nineteen years at the Durban University of Technology and have designed sets for a number of professional and student productions. I am therefore familiar with the design processes and practical techniques required by a designer to create a set design. However, in researching scenography for my dissertation I realized that there are numerous sources available on American and British set designers but there is limited material on South Africa designers. Therefore I believe it is important to document King's work.
The title of my dissertation is
The craft of scenic illusion: an investigation into how theatre space and dramatic genre influence the scenographic process, with specific reference to Greg King's set designs for Aladdin (2007), 0/eanna (2008) and The Wizard o/Oz (2008).
Please may I request your voluntary participation in an interview/s? The information obtained will be strictly for the purposes of the dissertation. You are at liberty to withdraw from the project at any time.
