Studio Metamorphosis: A Performance Studio for Georgetown

Abstract

Studio Metamorphosis explores the physical and psychological transformation of performance architecture. The performance theater is a threshold into the world of the narrative. It has a dual role of an actor and spectator. The actor takes on a physical transformantion of each narrative. The building and all its parts becomes a costume and physical embodiment of the charactor. The theater is also a spectator. As spectator, the theater suspends reality and allows for the world of the narrative to take over. This psychological canvas upon allows the world of the performance comes to life.
