IMMERSION

SPRING 2022

South Craig Street is an area where students interact with the environment. The theater which I created focus on the idea of discussion and interconnectedness as a blackbox theater and it’s interlocking features, making the performers and audience more interactive and breaking the barriers of traditional performances.

In developing the theater, I had looked at the temporary blackbox theater “The Shed” from the Haworth Tompkins Office and its strength of flexibility and engaging the audiences.

To create my own theater, I performed transformation on the precedent which created more provoking ideas to the conventional theater by creating more angled roofs and intersections to present an interlocked idea through the geometry that guides the viewers toward the center of the stage. Similarly, the rest programming of the theater also focus on interconnectedness by using interlocked geometry.

The facade of the theater uses different materials and punctured surfaces that promotes a conversation on theater and performers as well as convey an immersive and stimulative environment.
