Space as an Integral Aspect of Performance experience

Space as Performance Experience
Spatial Design, Scenography and the Atmosphere of the Theatrical Event

Space is the first condition of performance. It holds the body, directs movement, frames perception, and shapes the emotional atmosphere of the event.

This research investigates the role of space in performing arts, considering it not only as a place where performance happens, but as a performative element in itself. Through scenography, spatial organisation, materiality, light, sound, and audience position, space becomes part of the narrative and part of the experience.

The study reflects on how designed stages and found spaces influence the way performance is created, perceived, and remembered.
