Potfolio 2023 | Patrick Griffin
STAGE FOR THE CITY We were tasked to consider the idea of a Culture Condenser... My interpretation proposes a performing arts center that investigates the role of performance and audience - to blur the line between the two. Movement becomes the central motif of the project as the ritual of moving through spaces becomes a performance in itself. Accentuating key ideas of ascension and descension mark the beginning and end of the promenade - relating to the tragic history and hopeful future of a once thriving community. Dance and music are a tool to unite people - they are art forms that capture a passage through time. Both mirror the crescendo and decrescendo of the site - tethering their connection and setting the stage to weave art and history into place. Spring 2023
