Abstract
Chapter 8 examines the design of model jingju. The author focuses on three areas: scenic design, lighting design, and costume and makeup design. Each area is contextualized by its departure from that of traditional repertory and by its gradual creative evolution during the twentieth century. The author pays special attention to three issues: new concepts and practices introduced by the design teams of model jingju, the overall style and characteristics of design, and specific issues that challenged designers and their resulting strategies. This chapter includes a discussion of the aesthetic conflicts between representational scenery and jingju’s indicative style, and features personal interviews with key set, lighting, costume, and makeup designers.
