  • A Lively Theatre There's a Revolution Afoot in Theatre Design, Believes
    A LIVELY THEatRE There’s a revolution afoot in theatre design, believes architectural consultant RICHARD PILBROW, that takes its cue from the three-dimensional spaces of centuries past The 20th century has not been a good time for theatre architecture. In the years from the 1920s to the 1970s, the world became littered with overlarge, often fan-shaped auditoriums that are barren in feeling and lacking in intimacy--places that are seldom conducive to that interplay between actor and audience that lies at the heart of the theatre experience. Why do theatres of the 19th century feel so much more “theatrical”? And why do so many actors and audiences prefer the old to the new? More generally, does theatre architecture really matter? There are some that believe that as soon as the house lights dim, the audience only needs to see and hear what happens on the stage. Perhaps audiences don’t hiss, boo and shout during a performance any more, but most actors and directors know that an audience’s reaction critically affects the performance. The nature of the theatre space, the configuration of the audience and the intimacy engendered by the form of the auditorium can powerfully assist in the formation of that reaction. A theatre auditorium may be a dead space or a lively one. Theatres designed like cinemas or lecture halls can lay a dead hand on the theatre experience. Happily, the past 20 years have seen a revolution in attitude to theatre design. No longer is a theatre only a place for listening or viewing.

The Society for the Community Arts Theatre at Stelly’s engaged the above consultant team to review the feasibility of developing a new performing arts theatre attached to Stelly’s Secondary School. In addition to serving as a pedagogical venue for students, the proposed theatre is intended to be a community performance venue. The first phase of this process included a preliminary needs assessment based on an engagement process undertaken with various stakeholders, test for fit analysis on the existing school site and the production of preliminary architectural visualizations of the proposed theatre for marketing and fundraising. The primary objective of this process was to determine what is realistic and possible, both from the standpoint of the physical constraints of the existing school site and an analysis of the market environment within which the proposed theatre would have to operate. This report includes details regarding the process undertaken, test for fit analysis on the existing school property, stakeholder engagement process undertaken, benchmarking of various relevant facilities in British Columbia and our analysis of the type and size of facility that would serve the intended users into the future.
