Thirteenth International Conference on Design Principles & Practices

Abstract

Looking at the historical process, theater spaces periodically developed in line with particular events. In considering the fact that the theater is in existence in a specific space, we can say that it can create any other place in the built environment or natural environment. A classical scene with a decor or bottom of a plane tree can be a theatre space. In the past while the player was a subject, audience and scene was an object. But the contemporary theater the player and the audience together are the subjects, scene also is their subject. Thus, the scene, player and audience interaction has gained a spatial concept, in the context of both players and audiences, the body has been created in space within the space and it has changed in shape with the bodies as kinetic. In addition, contemporary theater has an aim to include the play to life and to remove the sharp line between them. Including the audience to play and shaping space in the face of movements and events in the play connected to combine with real life. It can be said that the person who is subjectivist in modern world and disconnected from nature, instinctively connects with own again and solving the social alienation as a result of this. In this study, because the concept of poor theatre is the simplest and the real state of the theater, the scene, the player and the audience will analyze in the context of subject and spatial perception.
