Our Town project continues with the design of a theater
/After our conversation last week about building a town, friends decided a theater should be our first focus. Today we invited friends to draw and create a theater. We took a look at a few local theaters: Aladdin, Hollywood, Bagdad, and Laurelhurst. We talked about marquees, concessions, ticket booths, seating, stages and screens.
Some friends made tickets, a mini ticket booth, and a larger ticket booth where we could fit our heads inside and slip the ticket through a small door.
Later, friends created seating for an audience on the couch and asked others to watch a dance performance on the stage (our round rug). It was wonderful. A friend led the show, announcing the intermissions and offering concessions.
We’ll continue to ponder and create theater designs this week and consider constructing a larger theater together as a group project. To be continued…
