PERFORMING ART AND FILMMAKING COMPLEX

Introduction Arts and media play significant roll influencing the image of the country and its one of the most vital methods for defining society and their cultures, in addition to its economic importance.

Jordanian culture and awareness of arts in its general meaning is evolving and people are showing more appreciation of art and media than before, the new generation is passionate about this field and have countless talents related to art and filmmaking fields, however, due to not having enough support and facilities to embrace them, most of these talents are wasted and ignored.

Art and media facilities in Jordan are shattered and mostly are a part of programs, which makes talents unrecognizable and less appreciated by community. People tend to think of art as a side hobby or work.

This center is the first to combine performing arts and filmmaking concentrating on art and culture of Jordan.

Description of the project The project is a platform that embraces performing arts and filmmaking and empowers the Jordanian talents to be a part of it, making it the first project in Jordan that makes it possible to enjoy all forms of arts human expressionism based in every way possible in one place, in one experience. In addition to multidisciplinary workshops, opportunities and jobs, with all required support and appreciation, the project is the hope we achieve a significant place in world’s development in arts and accomplish a vital role in filmmaking industry.

Value  Introduce informative entertainment destination where all the family can enjoy performances and films yet enhance their artistic and culture knowledge.  Change the generalized impression of society about art and film industry and start to orient our talents to make a footprint in these fields.  Surely, we have some shattered companies that facilitate performing arts and media, nonetheless, we are in the urge for a complex with a monstrous footprint effect in the world’s art and culture.

Chapter1: Theoretical Background and Literature Review Performing Arts Background Performance art is a performance presented to an audience, traditionally interdisciplinary.

Performance may be either scripted or unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated, spontaneous or otherwise carefully planned with or without audience participation.

The performance can be live or via media, the performer can be present or absent. It can be in any situation that involves four basic elements: time, space, the performer’s body, or presence in medium, and a relationship between performer and audience.

Performance art can happen anywhere, in any venue or setting and for any length of time Difference between plastic and performing art: The performing arts are those forms of art which differs from the plastic arts as the former uses the artist’s own body, face, and presence as a medium, and the latter uses materials such as clay, metal, or paint which can be molded or transformed to create some physical art objects.

Origin • • • • •

Started in Asia and Latin America referring for tribal to sporting and ritual or religious events.

Western cultural theorists often trace performance art activity back to the beginning of the 20th century as poetry.

Performance art was anticipated, if not explicitly formulated, by Japan's Gutai group of the 1950s. aprow had coined the term Happening describing a new artform, at the beginning of the 1960s. A Happening allows the artist to experiment with body motion, recorded sounds, written and spoken texts, and even smells.

In the 1960s a variety of new works, concepts and the increasing number of artists led to new kinds of performance art. Prototypic for the art form later explicitly labelled "performance art “.

Performing Arts Branches: There are many branches that are considered under performing arts umbrella, they are divided into major forms: Opera, Circus, dance and theatre And minor forms: puppetry and magic (figure4).

Music An art form which medium is sound and silence. Its common elements are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts; tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of music varies according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions (and their recreation in performance), through improvisational music to aleatoric forms. Within "the arts", music may be classified as a performing art, a fine art, and

auditory art.

Theatre Theatre is the branch of the performing arts concerned with acting out stories in front of an audience using combinations of speech, gesture, music, dance, sound and spectacle—indeed any one or more elements of the other performing arts. In addition

to the standard narrative dialogue style of plays, theatre takes such forms as plays, musicals, opera, ballet, illusion, mime, improvisational theatre, stand-up comedy, pantomime, and non-conventional or art house theatre.

Theatre is a way of expressing human feelings and reflection of its inside in addition to cultural value, that indeed enhanced by interactive with audience so they can be a part of the show.

Dance Dance generally refers to human movement either used as a form of expression or presented in a social, spiritual or performance setting. Dance is also used to describe methods of non-verbal communication (see body language) between humans, Choreography is the art of making dances, and the person who does this is called a choreographer. Definitions of what constitutes dance are dependent on social, cultural, aesthetic artistic and moral constraints and range from functional movement (such as folk dance) to codified, virtuoso techniques such as ballet.

History of performing art in middle east The earliest recorded theatrical event dates to 2000 BC with the passion plays of Ancient Egypt. This story of the god Osiris was performed annually at festivals throughout the civilization, marking the known beginning of a long relationship between theatre and religion.

The most popular forms of theatre in the medieval Islamic world were puppet theatre (which included hand puppets(figure5), shadow plays and marionette productions) and live passion plays known as ta'ziya, where actors re-enact episodes from Muslim history.

Music in Jordan The traditional music of Jordan has a long history. Rural zajal songs, with improvised poetry played with a Mijwiz, Tableh, Arghul, Oud, rabab and reed pipe ensemble accompanying is popular.

Recently Jordan has seen the rise of several prominent Ojs and pop stars. In Amman there has been a movement of alternative music in the last two decades, other genres of art started immerging during to the influence the new generation had from the western culture, an increasing number of bands has gained popularity by playing new forms of non-traditional music such as Rock, indie Rock, metal pop, old school,..etc..

Dancing in Jordan Dancing has always been an important indication in expressing the national identity of countries, this is well represented in Jordan in a form of common traditional dance called Dabkeh. (figure 6) Since new forms of international contemporary form of dance were also introduced to the Jordanian art culture, which opened doors freely for many dance studios to teach other forms of dance such as Salsa, ballet,etc.

Chapter1: Theoretical Background and Literature Review

PERFORMING ART AND FILMMAKING COMPLEX

Filmmaking Background Filmmaking (or, in an academic context, film production) is the process of making a film, generally in the sense of films intended for extensive theatrical exhibition. Filmmaking involves several discrete stages including an initial story, idea, or commission, through screenwriting, casting, shooting, sound recording and pre-production, editing, and screening the finished product before an audience that may result in a film release and exhibition. Filmmaking takes place in many places around the world in a range of economic, social, and political contexts, and using a variety of technologies and cinematic techniques. Typically, it involves many people, and can take from a few months to several years to complete.

Filmmaking Vs Theatre acting Unlike the theatre actor, who gets to develop a character during a two- or three-hour performance, the film actor lacks continuity, forcing him or her to come to all the scenes (often shot in reverse order in which they'll ultimately appear) with a character already fully developed.

The stage is more friendly to the unattractive, the overweight, and the flawed, while film—despite the advantages of makeup, lighting, soft focus, etc.—is relentlessly cruel to any sign of imperfection in the actor or actress.

The performance of emotion is the most difficult aspect of film acting to master: While the theatre actor can use exaggerated gestures and exclamations to express emotion, the film actor must rely on subtle facial tics, quivers, and tiny lifts of the eyebrow to create a believable character.

Historical Background Ever since the first movie made in 1887 the need of film making facilities under single roof was felt so that it would be easy for the film makers to make films. In 1893 in West Orange, New Jersey Thomas Edison build first movie studio called “Black Maria”.

Till early 1900s movies were shot outdoor in sunlight although there were facilities for electric bulbs. The reason behind this was inappropriate and inadequate lighting of these electric bulbs. Till this date indoor shooting was not preferred for film making.

It was only in 1920s, some good production companies like 20th Century Fox, RKO pictures etc were established and started their own studio, distribution division, theatres and contracted with performers and other film making personnel. Since then the film studio started growing technologically and in facilities too.

Historical Background in Arab World In its inception, Arab cinema was mostly an imitation of Western Cinema. However; it has and continues to constantly change and evolve.

Arabic cinema is dominated by films from Egypt Three quarters of all Arab movies are produced in Egypt. According to Chapter1: Theoretical BackgroundRoy and Literature Review film critic and historian Arms, the Cinema of Lebanon is the only other cinema in the Arabic-speaking region, beside Egypt's, that could amount to a national cinema. today, most of the film production in countries like Bahrain, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates is limited to television or short films the Arab cinema did not flourish before the national independence of each of them, and even after, the films production of the Arab cinema was restricted to short-length films. For example, Egypt scored more than 2,500 feature films. During the 1950s and 1960s Lebanon produced 180 feature films. Two full-length Kuwaiti films were produced at the end of 1970s, and a full-length Bahraini film was produced in the 1989.Syria produced around 150 films, Tunisia approximately 130, 100 films produced from each of Algeria and Iraq, Morocco almost 70, and Jordan’s productions were less than 12

Introduction to motion picture ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪

A film studio consists of all the equipment and facilities required for pre-production, production and post productions plus a primer theatre.

Animation techniques such as green screen technology and development of sound system had given the touch of reality.

In film studio we can find all the facilities required including office spaces, residence facilities for actors and other technicians.

Here in film studio one can shoot a movie in a very fast pace as one can construct different indoor and outdoor scenes quickly by using the workshop facilities available here. Workshop facilities consist of wood and metal workshop, painting workshop and plastering workshop. Mostly these workshops are used for the construction of indoor sets.

Motion Pictures Motion picture is a series of still pictures which, when shown on screen, creates the illusion of moving image.

The credit of origination of motion picture can be given to the early plays and dances. They used to have elements common to motion pictures like scripts, sets, costumes, direction, actors, audiences, storyboard and scores. Despite this due to the lack of technology, plays and dances could not be recorded for future.

During mid-19th century invention of devices like pinakistoscope and zoetrope showed that a carefully designed sequence of drawings, showing phases of the changing appearance of objects in motion, would appear to show the objects moving if Chapter1: Theoretical Background and Literature Review they were displayed one after the other at a sufficiently rapid rate. Limitation of these devices were that, they could show limited number of drawings usually twelve, so it could only show endlessly repeating cyclical motions.

The earliest films were simply one static shot that showed an event or action with no editing or other cinematic techniques.

Around 20th century, films started stringing several scenes together to tell a story.

The scenes were later broken up into multiple shots photographed from different distances and angles. Other techniques such as camera movement were developed as effective ways to tell a story with film

Till this time sounds in motion pictures could not be heard and were purely visual arts. It was only in late 1920s, sound recording technologies were invented for motion pictures and incorporation of dialogue and sound effects became possible.

Although the combination of sound and picture became possible motion pictures were not considered to gain its full height because motion pictures could only be viewed in black and white.

The introduction of natural colour in the field of motion picture brought revolution. Audiences could now see motion pictures in the colour that they can see around them. (figure8) show the timeline of motion pictures.

Filmmaking Process Film making is the process of making a film. Filmmaking involves several discrete stages including an initial story, idea, or commission, through scriptwriting, casting, shooting, editing, and screening the finished product before an audience that may result in a film release and exhibition.

Filmmaking takes place in many places around the world in a range of economic, social, and political contexts, and using a variety of technologies and cinematic techniques.

Typically, it involves many people, and can take from a few months to several years to complete. Making of movie consists of complex processes with different individuals or departments working. All these individuals and department works together under a film director and is also known captain of ship. ll the processes are divided into three steps according to their execution i.e.(figure9)     

Development Pre-production Production Post-production Distribution

Development: The first stage in which the ideas for the film are created, rights to books/plays are bought etc., and the screenplay is written.

Financing for the project has to be sought and obtained.

1

Pre-production: Arrangements and preparations are made for the shoot, such as hiring cast and film crew, selecting locations and constructing sets.

2

Production: The raw footage and other elements for the film are recorded during the film shoot.

3

Post-production: The images, sound, and visual effects of the recorded film are edited and combined into a finished product.

4

Distribution: The completed film is distributed, marketed, and screened in cinemas and/or released to home video.

Crew member Involved Hiring of crew members entirely depends upon the budget of the movie. If the budget of the film is low, then crew members are hired on the individual basis as per necessity and if the film is of big budget then department heads are hired, and they hire rest of the crew members as per the necessity of film.(figure 10) shows the whole crew.

Key department heads are:  Director of photography  Production manager  Assistant director  Production designer

Control Rooms and Considerations Each studio is provided with four control room for vision, sound, lighting and camera controls. An apparatus room is also provided.

Vision, sound and lighting control rooms are arranged in a suite and must have good visual link through observation windows to the studios.

Camera control and apparatus roan does not require arty visual connection to the studio and can only be located near the control roans to avoid long runs of intercom circuit links.

Other rooms: Make up rooms, changing roans and property stores must be provided close to the studio. The provision for audience may require public access, toilet facilities, cloak rooms, foyers and even associated bars and restaurants

Consideration Lighting Lighting in a television studio influences the viewers interpretation of size, shape, distance, texture and even pictorial environment o f the overall picture.

A lighting gallery, a system of catwalks or even a gridded floor over the whole studio should be designed to give access for adjustment of the different types of Luminant's used in the studio lighting.

Ventilation The powerful lighting system used in the television studios dissipate a lot of heat to the studio. This heat output must be reduced by effective artificial ventilation system. It therefore becomes essential to use chilled air supply air - conditioning system to lower down the temperatures to comfortable levels.

Acoustics It is very important to have acoustic consideration in recording studio for better quality of sound. For acoustic treatment and consideration various acoustic properties and treatment materials should be known.

Elevations and Materials We have envisioned a 12-story towers connected to a horizontal building housing three professionally-equipped theatres and arts studios under saw-toothed skylights.

In terms of materials, while steel is perhaps best known in the region, we chose concrete and masonry because it too has a history in the region and the campus.

Limestone was used in dimensions that gives sense of horizontality in neo-gothic style.(figure38) Windows are placed based on internal use and logic rather than from the idea or images relayed to the exterior.

The building verticality gives an impression of different function than the spirit of performing arts and film production.

And chosen way of designing the void is formal.

Landscape: In order to claim most of the property to landscape, many functions were pushed to sub-grade levels, in turn, giving a nonabrasive sculptural disposition of buildings above. The landscape theme is a minimalistic one and where oasis are introduced as sub-grade light wells, rocks from the Rum desert are staged as mystical elements and reflective pools capture sun rays and passing clouds above.

The architecture of the school is an explorative and didactic ground-scape environment capturing deduced emulations of the layers that make up film.

The building stages different conditions that allow the student to understand a great measure of intangibles through experience.

Dynamic motion The building forms descend into the ground and ascend out and over the ground creating paths and spaces in flux, roaming, and encouraging motion from different unconventional vantage points to allow students to explore spatial paradigm shifts necessary to understanding and planning scenography.(figure 40)

Exchange domain Great films are a by product of collaborative and synergetic team effort. Most circulation spaces and open outdoor ones are articulated to become social and celebratory domains where conversations and exchange of ideas are not only welcomed but enhanced and promoted.

Light and Shadow study Light as a matter Natural light conditions are exploited in the buildings creating ranges between washed out and intense.

The lighting is staged to allow students the opportunity to observe the nature of light. Light showers down on many areas and often in intense slices through sculptural skylights(figure41) Shadows as matter Like light, shadows are enhanced as a matter in a variety of form; dark areas percolate both still and moving shadows while other forms cast vivid and textured ones. (figure41).

Layering Like montage in filming, different spaces and building forms were juxtaposed as single layers; however the student can perceive different compositions from different points depending on their position in space. Long visual axes inlayed with a variety of compositional elements are staged as Forced Perspectives offering the students explorative grounds of visual montage.(figure42).

Chapter5: Conceptual Approach and Design Pursue The Ultimate Image...

Change The Stereotype ..... Explore Beyond The Scene ‌

Concept and Theory Used to refer to a method of filming very slow actions by taking a series of single CONCEPT: TIME pictures over a period of time and then putting them together to show the action happening very quickly.

Also it can be applicable in theatre, as the whole performance can be divided into a CONCEPT: TIME series of scenes when fastening them we gain the whole performance.

In a further definition it means the idea of graduate development in scenes to eventually obtain the ultimate image.

LAPSE LAPSE

Concept Application The concept was reflected on the design, architecturally and functionally.

Architectural Reflection 1. Gestalt Principle of continuity and closure : This is an artistic reflection of time lapse, as these principles indicates having different elements, each has its own identity yet when you look at them you observe them as a whole unit.

This was reflected at the massing by choosing the element of gradating ellipses, each was preserved the whole the geometric shape and kept its identity, and then gathered visually by an upper mesh so the image is completed, achieving the principles explained above.

2. Unit The chosen geometrical shape is ellipse, it was chosen over circles due to its more flexibility and more sense of movement and less rigidity.

Ellipse symbolism : These rounded shapes tend to send a positive emotional message of harmony and protection. The ellipse is often used to represent unity, love or community. Ellipses have no beginning or end, they represent life and the lifecycle. As each shape is a whole universe. Ellipses have a free sense of movement. Due to their curved lines, ovals and circle are graceful and complete. They give a sense of integrity and perfection.

3. Units quantity Three units were chosen to represent the three basic developments in the complex to eventually achieving the ultimate image and experience.

Three units : Theatre, film production and cinema.

Time lapses : the scene of the past, the scene of the present and the scene of the future.

Gradating functions was designed in the plan so the scenario will achieve the concept.(figure59)

Functional Reflection Flow and Immersion Theory Immersion means to engage wholly or deeply, to occupy fully attention, to become deeply involved and to be enveloped completely.

In order to reach the level of immersion you have to go through four main steps: curiosity, exploring, realizing, and finally immersion. (figure75).

Achieving immersion can be simplified by the following: • • • • •

Clarity of ideas and experiences.

The sense of control by the user.

Body moving without thought.

Connection.

Losing the sense of time.

Exploring

• Motivation to go through the project.

• Gradating in the project functions reaching the whole Experience completing the ultimate image.

“Flow Theory: a theory of optimal experience based on the concept of flow- the state in which people are involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter, the experience itself is so enjoyable that people will do it even at great cost, for sheer sake doing it”i Architecture flow is about helping the users to transit From space to another, so you can process what you’ve seen and be prepared to what’s coming next. Appropriate flow achieves immersion.

When watching a film, the audience experience a cinematic flow so they immerse in the story of the movie and narrative from scene to scene.

In architecture it flows from feature to feature with transitional space.

Flow design primary questions: (figure76) Growth

1. As an occupant, do they grow or improve through out the journey?

2. What is the story or narrative am I building the users?

3. What are the key features and spatial functions needed?

Sequence in functions putting the image in pieces as going through the project.

This is reflected on the sequenced scenes (functions) the user will go through as they are a part of a movie or play.

Form Development The form was initially started from dominating the main three functions (scenes of frames ): Theatre, Production and cinema as an ultimate point at the end of the journey.

Initially the massing started by placing three ellipses with different sizes according to the area needed for each major function. These ellipses are maintained their geometrical shape in the whole prosses to preserve the identity.

Secondly, a mesh was added to bring the sense of unity, continuity and closure, by taking a path connecting and merging the three main shape into one unit and full image . (figure78) shows form development.

Mesh importance: Concept wise: achieving the needed unity, continuity and closure establish in the concept, visual merging the massing without changing in their basic identity.

Function wise: defining entrances, visual estimation for the experience, merging into the roofing system and adds visual value and experience to the functions under.

Aesthetic wise: this shape is different than the surrounding which makes it even more eye-catchy and attractive for the users.

Also adding aesthetic effect to the form and presenting a piece of art in the building it self..
