ACADEMY OF PERFORMING ARTS

WINDOW/STAGE
The parterre is open, free from the visual barrier, the openable glass façade allows visual contact from the street to the courtyard, even a passer-by can look into the theatrical «kitchen» ……. if the direction allows it.
«The whole world is a stage, and all men and women are only actors. » William Shakespeare
LIGHT
while preserving the original street greenery, two floors next to the main entrance from Svoradova Street provide daylight to the rehearsal rooms and the ballet hall on the first floor.
«No matter how extensive the darkness is, we must take care of our light » Stanley Kubrick
SPACE
three rehearsal rooms on the 4th floor as well as a multifunctional hall and a lecture room on the 1st floor are interconnected by sliding wall elements. By opening the walls, we get a uniform space of 125m² on the 4th floor and 245m² on the 1st floor.
