Everyone is a Performer

Fluid Adagio International Competition, 1 of 5 Finalists Chosen from 67 Entries from 13 Countries. Even though we may deny it, we are all performers every day of our lives. Throughout each day we are presented with various audiences, stages and stage props. It is up to us to perform. Seven concrete stages, topped with various day-to-day stage props are placed throughout the space. The props are dipped in monochromatic rubber to create a stylized and surreal affect. These familiar, yet bizarre objects will peak the pedestrians’ interest. Once they enter the space they are able to use the stages for spontaneous performances or to simply question their own performances in life. Like the Capitol Theatre, these stages will be available for performances of written productions. Professionals and amateurs will be encouraged to use this unique space to create new ways of displaying their show. But unlike the theatre, these stages will see no downtime. With stage spotlights to illuminate the stages at night these simple constructions will be open 24 hours for anyone to have their opportunity to interact with or perform on any of the stages. Part sculptural art, part interactive installation, this design questions who is on stage and who is in the audience, and allows everyone to be a performer.
