Draft model - the theatre

The draft model for the rooms relating to the narrative: 'a place for the actress to entertain her lover' has a single vertical window opens onto the first room which is the dressing room. The window symbolises awareness of the shift from reality to theatre. The light from the window illuminates the room and the act of transformation.

The dual path above represents the journey from actress to character on the one side, and the journey of her lover as he walks to the wings to watch her perform. The wings will have varying internal walls and alcoves representing the different states through which the actors, stage hands and the lover pass as they coexist behind the curtains.

This view is from the dressing room to the wings. It shows the two paths representing the different emotional shifts of the actress and her lover. It relates to the inevitable stages of transition through which the actress and her lover pass.
