Jürgen Rose (set designer)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jürgen Rose (born August 25, 1937 in Bernburg , Saale ) is a German stage and costume designer and opera director .

Life

Jürgen Rose completed a traineeship at the Landestheater (today State Theater) Darmstadt with Gustav Rudolf Sellner and Franz Mertz from 1957 to 1959 , before he began studying at the Berlin University of Fine Arts (HBK, today Berlin University of the Arts , UDK) and likewise attended the renowned private drama school of Marlise Ludwig in Berlin .

In the season 1959/1960 he got his first engagement as a set designer and actor at the Städtische Bühnen Ulm . At the Stuttgart Schauspielhaus he met the ballet dancer and ballet choreographer John Cranko in 1961 , with whom he worked many times until his death in 1973 (he designed the sets and costumes for Cranko at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich and, from 1972, John Neumeier's ballet productions).

From 1961 to 1964 Rose was employed by the Münchner Kammerspiele . He has been working as a freelance stage and costume designer since 1965, creating opera sets from 1970 onwards. So far he has worked in Munich (Kammerspiele until 2001, Residenztheater , Bavarian State Opera ), Berlin ( State Drama Theaters ), Stuttgart ( State Theater ), Hamburg ( State Opera , Deutsches Schauspielhaus ), Dresden ( Semperoper ), at the Vienna State Opera and La Scala in Milan , at the Royal Opera House in London, the Paris Opera and Metropolitan Opera in New York, as well as at the Bayreuth and Salzburg Festival .

The numerous commissions for drama, opera and ballet at almost all major stages at home and abroad led him to work with directors such as Rudolf Noelte , Hans Lietzau , Götz Friedrich , Otto Schenk , Peter Stein and Thomas, alongside choreographers such as John Cranko and John Neumeier Langhoff and especially Dieter Dorn .

In 1994 he made his debut as an opera director in Bonn.

From 1973 to 2000 Rose held a full professorship for stage design at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart . One of the decisive factors in taking on a teaching position in Stuttgart - the Stuttgarter Zeitung signaled “Light on the stage” - was the long-term collaboration with John Cranko, who surprisingly died in the summer of 1973, when Rose took office. In the Akademie-Mitteilungen he immediately gave information about the "training in stage art" he was aiming for, understanding "stage art" "as a collective term for all visual components that form the basis of the scenic realization of a staging or form the optical framework in which it takes place ". This applies "to both spoken and musical theater and dance theater". For the first time in 1981, on the occasion of the Baden-Württemberg State Art University Weeks in Baden-Baden and then even more comprehensively in the municipal gallery “Kultur unterm Turm” in Stuttgart, Rose referred to the high standards he had as a university lecturer with work samples from fifteen students the range of exhibits “ranged from scenarios specially inspired for this occasion to piece-related works, starting with the quickly put down 'first idea' to the dramaturgically worked out concept”. His best-known student is the set designer and painter rosalie . Since 1975 he has been a member of the Berlin Academy of the Arts (until 1993 of the West Berlin part, since then of the whole of Berlin ), performing arts section . Today he lives in Munich .

To teaching

Jürgen Rose has accounted for more than a quarter of a century as a university lecturer in Stuttgart, to whom he owes the addition of a “theater space” for experimental work, with exhibitions, theater performances and, last but not least, with his own texts. In 1995 he gave his personal experiences and educational intentions space in a publication by the Stuttgart Art Academy:

“In decades of collaboration and discussion with strong theater artists (directors, choreographers, conductors, dramaturges and protagonists), an analytical, objective view of the respective starting point, the essentials - the text, the libretto, the composition, develops.

The synthesis of free, subjective fantasy potentials, creative demands, frictions of egoisms, acceptance of one's own limits and the factually profane possibilities, growing assertiveness and a willingness to learn to tolerate can lead to compelling results on stage - develops an awareness of collective responsibility.

These personal experiences determine the teaching.

The student must be prepared for these positive conflict situations in order to be able to meet the professional demands later.

Through analytical questioning of the respective field of activity, in a wide variety of seminars and discussions and corrections, above all through subjectively developed and then collectively published projects in our theater or elsewhere, the attempt is made to discover, expose and expand the artistic and creative possibilities of every student in order to to let him find his artistic identity.
