As I entered the concert hall I was overwhelmed by how large the building was. A large elevated stage sits in front of a large floor seating section. The balcony seating, much similar to stadium seating, which extended…
Tag 1: (Aman) Who built it and who was it dedicated to? What are the different names? The theatre was started by Julius Caesar, and completed by Emperor Augustus. It was dedicated to Emperor Augustus’s nephew, Marcus Claudius Marcellus (14-23 B.C.E).…
The Roman Coliseum is an amazing piece of architectural history and has played a significant role in history as well. Construction began in 72 AD under the rule of the Emperor Vespasian. It was completed in 80 AD in the very center of Rome. It is located east of the Roman forum, was built to hold 50,000 people, and has eighty entrances. It could easily hold a football field. There are many rooms and tunnels below the Coliseum. Some of them housed animals and gladiators, and some rooms also contained many pulleys and hand pulled elevators. The Coliseum had four floors and eighty arch ways for the people to enter. The Coliseum was covered with a massive awning, which was attached by poles at the top of the Coliseum that was known as “Velarium”.…

The lower level was connected to an upper balcony section by two staircases at the left and right edges of the stage. Above the balcony hung 5 projector screens arranged close together in a non aligned ‘x’ shaped pattern. These screens sometimes were used to display photographs taken by Bobby, showing the people he was thinking about on stage. Other times the screens contained solid colors representing windows when blue or green background lights for a night club. The backdrop behind the whole set was a beige brick wall often lit with a blue or purple light. The actors exchanged out a few key props between scenes to represent the new location. In partial realistic style, a single bed, couch, table or bench was the only stage props used to represent an individual scene. This was effective in conveying most locations, although the bench was used in multiple locations, from a busy subway for the “Another Hundred People” to a quiet park for the scene with Kathy. This overuse caused some confusion as to where the scenes with benches were taking…

b)The Arena Stage/Theatre in the RoundAn arena stage is an open stage where the audience surrounds the stage, similar to the Colosseum. The stage may be any shape and provides access for actors and audience alike with aisles through the seating. Some stages have tunnels instead of aisles, to hide actors as they move towards and away from the stage.…
The Colosseum was the largest amphitheater ever built in its time. The usage of this amphitheater would hold up to 50,000 spectators for entertainment purposes. The Roman Empire would proceed through one of 80 gate arches which were constructed with concrete barrel vaults, tunnels, and numerous passageways called, vomitorium throughout the Colosseum for control of entry and exit flow. The arches are completed of mixed Roman and Greek Columns. The columns start with Doric on the lower story, then Ionic and Corinthian. Towards the end of its consumption, the Romans recycled the Colosseum for its marble and stone as a quarry on other developments.…
In the interior, it was constructed like a basilica with two rows of columns and a third transversal row behind the doors. The hall, paved with stone slabs, was otherwise bare of ornament, except for a frieze running along the upper gallery. As yet there was no shrine for the Torah scrolls; instead, they were placed in a receptacle which was brought into the room as needed (Avi-Yonah 1962, 98).…
The Elizabethans built the first permanent theatres in London. There were two kinds of theatres. One was the amphitheatre, which was of the same type as the rebuilt Globe Theatre. The more expensive seats and the stage were both roofed over, but the body of the theatre was open to…
From the inside, the globe theatre was just like I had expected it to be, the walls were decorated with carved- in paintings that had probably faded away throughout the years because you couldn’t see much of them now. The room was brightly lit by the sun and there was a massive stage in the middle where the actors acted out. At the back of the stage there was the musician’s gallery where the sounds took place. At the entrance I had to pay 5 pence for my seat. It would have been better sitting where the upper-class citizens (gentlemen’s rooms) sat but I was short out of money and thought it was too expensive, it would have cost me one shilling! Although it must have been worse for the lower –class citizens because they had to stand to watch the show.…

The appearance of hanamichi passageway was a milestone in the kabuki theatre. it extends from the back of the audience seating to the stage on the left side of the theatre as viewed from the audience, while the provisional hanamichi, when used runs on the right. In the other technique, the main actor exits the stage on the provisional hanamichi and reappears on the main hanamichi while the stage set is changed. The main hanamichi also contains the most important lift, suppon (snapping turtle), a small lift about two thirds of the way down the passageway where important characters often make their fantastic entrance.…
