This paper explores the profound transformations occurring in the field of theatrical arts under the influence of media convergence, with a particular focus on how new media and technologies have reshaped and expanded the narrative space and expressive forms of stage design. By analyzing the application of diverse visual languages in scenography, the study highlights emerging trends that enrich the discipline and drive its development. Drawing on insights and case studies from four years of undergraduate training, this research investigates how stage design students can incorporate narrative logic and interdisciplinary approaches to create more open, layered, and diversified spatial experiences. The convergence of media offers boundless opportunities for innovation in both theatre and visual arts, positioning stage design to embrace a broader and more dynamic future.
