Rudi Dorn fonds [textual record, graphic material, cartographic material]

Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

The concept designs are most likely for one of the ballet productions where Rudi Dorn was hired for set design (possibly 'The Royal Winnipeg Ballet' in 1964). This is indicated by the presence of ballet attire and poses, as well as the use of vibrant colour. Typically, Mr. Dorn designed for black and white television where colour does not always translate succesfully onto a grey scale (vibrant reds become near black for instance). Therefore, stage production for the ballet and theatre companies were opportunties to create using the full colour spectrum. The file contains 6 unlabeled and unidentified works by Rudi Dorn.
