Public and performer spaces are separated by the auditorium & atrium (studio will be both)
Two theatre spaces:
- large = layout vertical like Bouffe du Nord (and Q theatre)
- flexible seating on ground level, similar concept to Q theatre
- 300 seats?
- proscenium arch to remain
- sunk down into the ground
- open top over the stage, but not the gallery seating (similar concept to Globe/Rose)
- 'Gods' now on ground level - this level also looks directly over the auditorium space to the rehersal area - could allow this to be viewable if wanted
- small = one level, raked seating
- more traditional 'modern' space, not open air
- 100 seats
- could actually be the space used for rehersals (*)
Scene dock - near main theatre space
- natural lighting
- easy access from road
- durable materials
Rehearsal space
- natural light
- separate access
- high ceiling, good acoustics
- could be the existing stage space
Cafe/bar
- as soon as you enter the space (main entry, from road or other main access)
- make welcoming for general public, open all hours
- larger space than current - maybe almost as big as the main theatre (how to do this..., maybe extend over part of the theatre space once sunk down)
Dressing rooms
- flexible
Toilets (public)
- provide twice as many female toilets as male
- slightly glam
- dramatic, vertical view, taste of what is to come (auditorium)
- contrast to historic foyer/cafe/restaurant area
- bar on top could look down onto both the auditorium and the rehersal spaces - maybe even extend this up to be a lookout tower????
