Floating Theater
author(s):Léon Spikker, Andrew Gooden
Summary
The Floating Theatre is a revolutionary concept, freeing both actors and spectators from the confines of the traditional auditorium. It is an organic structure, able to shrink or expand in response to changing economic, social and climatic conditions. The Innovation Dock serves as an on-site production facility, providing stage and building components as well as stage props. The currently obsolete cranes connect this area to the theatre space, by moving heavy stage construction, and may also act as a performance object or "fly tower".
Internally, the project consists of a network of 'submarines'. These are small platforms which can be lowered (or raised) by the addition (or removal) of water. A platform may be part of the seating area at one moment and be a part of the stage the next, eroding the sharp division between performer and spectator. The result is a truly flexible performance space, which offers directors almost unlimited design freedom.
