Sarah Hegenbart From Bayreuth to Burkina Faso
Christoph Schlingensief’s Opera Village Africa as postcolonial Gesamtkunstwerk?

Sarah Hegenbart traces the path from Wagner's introduction of the Gesamtkunstwerk in Bayreuth to Schlingensief's attempt to charge the idea of the total artwork with new meaning by transposing it to the West African country Burkina Faso. Schlingensief developed Opera Village in...

Jan Van Caneghem The book that helps you become the epic designer of our tomorrows
... and that everyone needs to read
The book that helps you become the EPIC designer of our tomorrows wants to convince you about the need for creative thinking and, in an applied form, design thinking . We investigate the nature of creative thinking and how that is undervalued in education and corporate life. We gather an understanding of the emphasis on R&D in organisations and governmental support and why it is harming businesses and the people they work for. With the EPIC design maturity model , we help to emphasise that empathy,...
