Designing for <strong>The<strong>at</strong>re</strong> in the RoundThe use <strong>of</strong> the arena configur<strong>at</strong>ion in theTelus Studio <strong>The<strong>at</strong>re</strong> is an honest and directresponse <strong>to</strong> the existing architecture. Frommy recent lighting design experience in thespace for The Madonna Painter, I noticed a lo<strong>to</strong>f gre<strong>at</strong> qualities, as well as unique designpotentials th<strong>at</strong> set the Telus apart from allother black box or conventional prosceniumstyle <strong>of</strong> the<strong>at</strong>res.The Telus has quite a few flaws as a the<strong>at</strong>rein terms <strong>of</strong> practicality (for example, thelack <strong>of</strong> an overhead grid and efficientrigging system), but nonetheless, it is a veryinteresting and special piece <strong>of</strong> architecture.For example, the unique “flexibility” <strong>of</strong> theTelus comes from the 12 movable <strong>to</strong>wers th<strong>at</strong>hold the audience se<strong>at</strong>ing, but such qualityis only true <strong>to</strong> the extent th<strong>at</strong> half <strong>of</strong> thoseremain <strong>at</strong>tached <strong>to</strong> each other <strong>to</strong> form asemi-arena <strong>of</strong> box style se<strong>at</strong>ing, from whichthere is no escape.The fact th<strong>at</strong> there are three separ<strong>at</strong>e floors<strong>of</strong> se<strong>at</strong>ing in each <strong>to</strong>wer cre<strong>at</strong>es an enormoussense <strong>of</strong> height and closure within such asmall space. This imposing sense <strong>of</strong> heightis not only <strong>to</strong> be felt by the performers butmost importantly impacts gre<strong>at</strong>ly on how theaudience perceives the space for the dur<strong>at</strong>ion<strong>of</strong> the performance.Most <strong>of</strong>ten for the audience members on the<strong>to</strong>wers, they have <strong>to</strong> sit on the edge <strong>of</strong> theirse<strong>at</strong>s and lean on the ledge th<strong>at</strong> surroundsthe se<strong>at</strong>s (in groups <strong>of</strong> 4) for the entire showin order <strong>to</strong> be able <strong>to</strong> see wh<strong>at</strong> is happeningdown below on “stage.”If those unique sp<strong>at</strong>ial fe<strong>at</strong>ures <strong>of</strong> the the<strong>at</strong>reare appropri<strong>at</strong>ely utilized and appreci<strong>at</strong>ed,it could reward any production with a gre<strong>at</strong>the<strong>at</strong>rical experience r<strong>at</strong>her than imposinga rigidly fixed set in<strong>to</strong> the already limitingspace. For this reason, I wanted <strong>to</strong> take thisspecial opportunity and emphasize designingon the ground, embracing the floor th<strong>at</strong>already exists as the central focal point <strong>of</strong> thespace.This, in turn, will cre<strong>at</strong>e a the<strong>at</strong>ricalexperience th<strong>at</strong> is unique <strong>to</strong> the Telus. Itis also an explor<strong>at</strong>ion and experiment <strong>to</strong>challenge the conventional “forth-wallpicture-frame”perception <strong>of</strong> the<strong>at</strong>ricalspaces with a minimalist set and projectedstage floor. The use <strong>of</strong> light and multimediaimagery from multiple projec<strong>to</strong>rs will morphand sculpt the space in<strong>to</strong> different locales asthe s<strong>to</strong>ry unfolds. The design <strong>of</strong> the set andthe stage itself only exist for the dur<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong>the play, making all a temporal experiencejust as any live performance.by Mandi LauSet and Projection DesignerOriginally posted on our <strong>The<strong>at</strong>re</strong> <strong>at</strong> <strong>UBC</strong> blog:https://blogs.ubc.ca/the<strong>at</strong>re/<strong>20</strong>11/01/07/designing-for-the<strong>at</strong>re-in-the-round/
