generic ground plan



looks better when you click the image...

some drawings

These are some ideas Jonathan & I talked over last night (& this morning). The main table being long, narrow and mobile. In the kitchen, it becomes the counter. A few hotplates designate one area as the stove top. A simple door on wheels can be used as such, or can become a refrigerator when placed in front of a shelf unit. The bottom portion can be opened separately from the top. Perhaps practical lights or worklights are set by actors for various purposes, maybe as a tv.

Super clean space


Super clean space, thank you kubrick

theatre du soleil

there's no way we can do this, but thinking about:
level of realistic detail?
possibility of scenic movement?

Design Ideas

Going to start posting more images/videos that give some idea of design for the show.

Lets start out with some intense ones. Click the photos for the 'steel world' of this show, the metal is interesting, sterile.

Heres one with the 'ultra media' focus, how our 'central platform' for performing could be if it was hyper media-ized.

Its a little bit hard to see from this video, but they have created an 80's clunky 'open office' environment in which a performance can take place. Theirs is 'semi office', while ours wants to be 'semi house', both are performance settings first I suppose.

Keep adding images, sounds, etc you all!

from builders association...

just curious about scale of projections and the possibility of a camera mounted above the stage (as is suggested in the 2nd photo). also thinking about the use of vertical blinds (or the like) in a smaller way...
