Multiform Theatres are perhaps the most complex theatres to design. They must support the artistic aspirations of musicians, actors, dancers, directors, designers, and visual and aural artists in one highly flexible, transformable space. A true Multiform Theatre seamlessly supports the creation of art through automated architecture altering the Artist/Audience relationship and adapting to the artist’s spatial needs, while providing adaptable technical and acoustic opportunities that inspire new artistic forms. When done right, the architecture itself becomes part of the artistic process. How does one space change from a 625-seat Concert Hall to a 350-seat Recital Hall to a 250-seat Proscenium Theatre to a laboratory for Immersive Environments, Research and Experimentation? Join Scott Crossfield, ASTC from Theatre Projects as he guides you through the design thinking behind the new Multiform Theatre at Brown University—a radical, one-of-a-kind theatre machine designed to inspire innovative new art making, enable unprecedented artistic collaboration and serve as a hub for performance at the Brown University.
