  • Coney Island Comprehensive Rezoning Plan - Approved! Overview
    Projects & Proposals > Brooklyn > Coney Island Coney Island Comprehensive Rezoning Plan - Approved! Overview From its famed boardwalk, to the iconic Wonder Wheel, Cyclone, and Parachute Jump, to the once bustling midways along Surf Avenue and the Bowery, Coney Island’s legendary status as the world’s greatest urban amusement park lives in all of our memories. But over the years, this once vibrant area has shrunk and deteriorated, and is limited today to one block of seasonal amusements and a few remaining active frontages along Surf Avenue. The Department of City Planning, in partnership with the New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC), the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), has developed a comprehensive plan that will establish a framework for the revitalization of the Coney Island amusement area and the surrounding blocks. The plan builds upon the few remaining amusements to create a 27-acre amusement and entertainment district that will reestablish Coney Island as a year-round, open and accessible amusement destination. Outside of the amusement area, the plan provides new housing opportunities, including affordable housing, and neighborhood services. The plan covers 19 blocks bounded by the New York Aquarium to the east, West 24th View the presentation Street to the west, Mermaid Avenue to the north and the Riegelmann Boardwalk to the south. The plan seeks to: Facilitate the development of a vibrant year round, 27-acre urban amusement and entertainment district by catalyzing a variety of new indoor and outdoor amusement, entertainment, and complimentary uses, and laying the groundwork for the development of a 12-acre urban amusement park preserving and expanding amusement uses in their historic boardwalk location in perpetuity; Rezoning Area Boundary View a larger image.

  • NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Ototheatre
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Ototheatre: Learning to Listen and Perform in Sonically Augmented Spaces A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of Theatre and Drama By Lauren R. Beck EVANSTON, ILLINOIS December 2017 2 © Copyright by Lauren R. Beck 2017 All Rights Reserved 3 Abstract Ototheatre: Learning to Listen and Perform in Sonically Augmented Spaces Lauren R. Beck This dissertation explores a form of performance I call “ototheatre,” which is a mobile and participatory audience experience executed with portable sound technology. Ototheatre is an emergent artistic form that sits at a convergence of contemporary technologies and audience consumption habits. Case studies, including smartphone applications and new theatrical works incorporating novel uses of sound technology, reveal the antecedents and characteristics of this form of theatre. I explore the methods by which these works create intimate, interactive theatrical experiences that extend modes of audience experience. Podcasts are a new media practice that have multiple theatrical antecedents and ototheatrical potential. I analyze a particularly theatrical podcast, choreographer Hofesh Shechter’s Everyday Moments, to show new possibilities for individual modes of performance scripted by podcast artists for solo listening. I trace a genealogy that includes the théâtrophone, radio drama, and the downloadable podcast to demonstrate how the recorded voice has long been creating remote theatrical experiences for audiences through the use of mediatized sound technology. While radio has been called a “theatre of the mind,” I argue that podcasts can create an intimate, post-humanistic theatre of the body. I examine artistic sound works that are related to the audio tour to explore ways of mapping space with sound.

  • Jeff Richardson Dan Streible Curating Moving Image
    Jeff Richardson Dan Streible Curating Moving Image Material May 7, 2007 Series Prospectus The following proposal is addressed to Horace Bullard, owner of numerous properties in Coney Island, Brooklyn. Among these properties is the Shore Theater, a 1925 movie palace that has been closed since the 1970’s. Last summer, scaffolding appeared on the building, prompting many Internet rumors about a possible revival/restoration of the space. Unfortunately, at this time no work has been done on the building, and the current Internet rumors now suggest that last summer’s activity was a false alarm. This prospectus, however, assumes an imaginative scenario in which Mr. Bullard is indeed returning the building to its original condition. This restored Shore Theater would be a stage and screen venue in the heart of Coney Island’s commercial district. The program I am presenting to Mr. Bullard would constitute the venue’s grand re-opening weekend. As this scenario takes place at an imagined future time, the opening letter to Mr. Bullard is undated. Dear Mr. Bullard, Congratulations on your impressive restoration of the Shore Theater. By the end of the year, Coney Island’s most magnificent venue will once again open its doors to the public. As you know, this historic 1925 space is located in the heart of the area’s commercial district, and therefore has the potential to greatly effect future redevelopment Coney Island. As a center for fine film and performing arts in the city’s oldest preserved movie palace, the Shore Theater can become a destination for all of New York City.
