John Pawson on stage at Royal Opera House

Pawson’s stage design consisted of a simple, articulated white backdrop with an illuminated rectangular void set into it.

Pawson describes the project as “a design for the stage which uses the architectural motifs of inside and outside, entrance and exit, light and shadow, void and plenitude to create a spatially charged environment, which is explored through the medium of the dancers’ bodies.”
