Extended data:

In the west, there were great technological breakthroughs in the stage design during the Renaissance, including: frame stage, perspective scenery, false perspective, quick (rotating) replacement side curtain system, etc. Not only did the stage design with drama and opera as the core become the main work content of western stage design, but it also spread rapidly from Italy to the whole western world through the Renaissance movement.

As far as the content of stage design is concerned, there are mainly three parts: audience, stage and background. The audience includes seats, acoustic environment, visual angle, entrance and exit paths and physical environment. The stage includes lighting, curtain, sound, performance props, suspension and replacement bracket system, clothing, makeup, etc.

The backstage includes make-up, civil and military field (band), crossing field, basic props, Chen Fang, and space for playing. Therefore, the abilities required for stage design include: knowledge of performance (or drama performance), stage painting, props making (arts and crafts), stage lighting, knowledge of evolution of props and clothing styles, knowledge of music and drama, knowledge of sound control, and so on.
