Curtain raisers: visions of a future theatre
Nicholas Kenyon was one of the leaders debate theater spaces of art need to evolve, and to integrate other facilities open
What are the theaters of the future? It is specially designed spaces for one art form to be obsolete? Does cross-use of social spaces where art is just one of many things on offer? Will they be fully interactive, offering experiences that continue beyond the walls of the theater? Will open all hours, allowing people to visit at times that suit them, as one might do in the Edinburgh Fringe? Traveling theaters or be totally without strings at any particular physical space?
Rob Harris, the leader in acoustic design and international theater consultant Arup estimates that, as is, "art is seen and heard by very few people in the space of a few- one. " Speaking at a conception of the next generation, a conference held by the Barbican, November 17 to coincide with their current OMA / Progress exhibition, Harris and a panel that included the Barbican Nicholas Kenyon and Liza Fior, founding partner MUF the architectural firm, the debate on how to evolve and concert halls.
Harris explained that in the current climate, the tendency to hold work on a temporary "pop-ups" and the spaces are located and for the reuse of existing buildings, is likely to grow. All new spaces that are built will be affordable in terms of personal and social costs, and sustainable both environmentally and economically. You also need to find ways to work with the new (but not necessarily younger) audience.
