The Dance Studio Theatre
PEBE 132
Located in Physical Education Building East, the Dance Studio Theatre is
accessible from Orange Street (off of Rural Road) and McAllister Avenue, and
is near on-campus parking structures and visitor lots.
TECHNOLOGY
The
Theatre is one of the only dance spaces in the country designed with interactive
multimedia and telematic capabilities. The facility uses video-based motion
sensing to enable performers to interact with sound, lighting, images and
video in performance. High speed internet connectivity enables this space
to connect with other telematic facilities around the world for dual, multi-site
and web performances.
SEATING
The Dance Studio Theatre has riser seating with a capacity of 250, as well
as 30 additional balcony seats, and is the mainstage performance site for
the 15 formal and informal concerts produced annually by the Department of
Dance.
FLOOR
The performance space consists of a 45x38 sprung hardwood floor, laid in a
Basketweave pattern on a base supported by resilient cushions and air, thus
providing give and spring necessary to prevent leg injury and to assist in
dancers' lifts and jumps. The sprung floor is then overlaid with Harlequin
Studio Marley flooring to assist with traction during runs and turns.
LIGHTING
Lighting for the Dance Studio Theatre is controlled by a 96 dimmer PC-based
Horizon System.
