PROGRAMME

The Public part of the Performing Art Centre will gather large rooms dedicated to performances with public. The auditorium will be able to receive 227 people for Improvisational shows. The stage is voluntarily large in order to let performers free to use all the room they need. Indeed, Improvisation performances require large stages in order to let freedom to the performers. The exhibition rooms will be large and will enjoy a high ceiling height in order to provide full freedom to performers. The restaurant area will be shared by the Pig & Fiddle Pub as an extension of it and it will enjoy the typical character of the famous pub. The private part of the Performing Art Centre has smaller and more intimate rooms. The green room, located on the first floor, will be home of a kitchen, a dining room and a large living room. It will be an accommodation for performers, both actors and art performers. Its location is strategic, with a direct access to the exhibition room (through a door) and an access to the stage get-in room through the backstage staircase. The large workshop room will be located on the ground floor and will be used for performance classes provided by the artists of the PAC organisation. The other rooms of the backstage are smaller and intimate, they are dressing rooms, studios and offices. The technical room, maintaining a good building heart rate will have a strategic location because central and auditorium contiguous.
