Edward Gordon Craig

theater director United Kingdom

Edward Gordon Craig was an influential British stage designer, director, and theorist, known for his innovative ideas about theatrical production and the use of puppetry. Born in 1872, Craig was a key figure in the modernist theater movement, advocating for a more abstract and symbolic approach to drama. He believed in the concept of the 'supermarionette,' a puppet that transcends human limitations and emotions, embodying a higher form of theatrical expression. His work and philosophy emphasized the importance of visual elements in theater, aiming to liberate the performance from the constraints of the human actor and create a more universal and metaphysical experience for the audience.
