Performance, performer, space and audience is a relationship that is constantly in a state of conversation. A never-ending negotiation of each of their boundaries and how loose and malleable they are. This thesis seeks to explore the role that architecture can play in said relationship.
By taking the Los Angeles Dance Project as a receiver of this exploration, it’s this thesis's interest to make use of the avant-garde qualities of the dance company and their use of space and approach to performance, while also attempting to create an architecture that is odd in its character, to act as opportunity and allow for play. Architecture as a prompt rather than prescription.
This thesis chooses a series of lightweight tactical interventions that allow the exploration of the collapse of the relationship between audience, performer and building.
