Dress Rehersal
BSc Year 3
Composed of rib-like elements, easily mountable with a simple lock and joint system, the Dress Rehersal is a highly adaptable and multifunctional framework.
It can be configured into an array of spatial compositions from a circular enclosure, encompassing both audience and actors in an intimate setting, to smaller formations, that delimitate a number of spaces, to suggesting a threshold or inducing movement.

A covering can easily be suspended from the top of the ribs to form a roof; fabric can be wrapped around the ribs to form a fabric wall or screen.

AN ARC OR A WALL, A SHELTERING CIRCLE...
RIGID OR SOFT, EXPOSED OR A SHIELD;
YOU NAME IT, I'LL BE IT.
