2. M Y P ERFORMING A RTS C ENTRE ON G OOGLE S KETCHUP By Emily Lawson

3. P LANNING R ESEARCH I first looked at other Performing Art Centers that had won awards and noted down the good aspects of them in a word document. Then I researched what was needed in the centers and put that in the document too. Then I listened to Mr. Gordon and wrote down his main points. I added them to my word document. I planned the shape of the centre by looking at where it was supposed to go. I measured the drama classrooms to find out there actual size. Then I did rough sketches to help design my final project

4. M Y PLANNING S HEET T HE NEEDS FOR MY C ENTER The Good aspects of other Performing Arts Centres…… High performance principles, innovation, functionality, contextual relationship, humanism, and building quality. Needs in my Performing Arts Centre Toilets Auditorium Music rooms Main stage Foyer Main stage Seating Sound proofing Backstage Dressing rooms Practice rooms Classrooms Instrument Storage Showroom Main and back entrance Large windows Recording room Teacher room Lifts Stairs Offices Computers Lots of electric plugs Sound systems Dance studios- Bars for ballet, Wooden floors, Mirrors Costume storage Workshop State of the art lighting Instruments and facilities Private showers Fixing room Lockers Organ Comfortable chairs Waiting lounge Students art work Trap door with lift Smoke and dry ice storage Bleachers Lighting board Draping curtains Televisions DVD players Costume fitting rooms Video players Cameras Video cameras At least 3 levels

5. M Y P LANNING S HEET T ALK WITH M R. G ORDON When Mr. Gordon came he gave me some more ideas Performing Arts Centre Music, Drama, Dance are the main ones What facilities does dio have for dance… Wooden floors, mirrors, bars Is dance offered as a curricular subject… no as we have nowhere to teach it. Could this be shared with another area of activity? Designated dance space How big does it need to be? Would it be big enough for an audience or just a classroom? Drama classrooms are good sizes…measure them. Needs auditorium- sight lines…two levels, tiered seating-seating for 1750, sound needs to travel well-should be able to hear without microphone, Shows- sound and light, backstage, storage, green rooms, curtains, trap doors, the pit, orchestra pit, high ceilings, background props, organ, fly tower, machinery, sound proofing, employed stage manager, Foyer- runs long ways from science to chapel, through access to the science block and comms, lifts stirs, lifts, reception, refreshments, Music classrooms- need 2-3 drama classrooms, 1-2 dance studios, 10-15 music classrooms, 2 bigger music rooms, 2 recording rooms- 1 next to auditorium and 1 next to the bigger classroom, storage, separate percussion teaching room, senior teaching room, music technology, keyboard room, Staff room, offices, place for students to go, lockers, staff toilet, bathrooms and showers, storage, closet in choir room
