Brief:

The city fosters art and is art; the city creates the theatre and is the theatre. It is in the city, the city as theatre,
that man’s more purposive activities are focused.
Lewis Mumford, writing in the 1930s, understood the city as a ‘theatre of social action’. His approach remains relevant in the context of the contemporary post-industrial city, in which theatricality and performativity are key drivers of the so-called ‘experience economies’.
Towards that direction we will set out this semester to explore how performance, narrative and scenography are related to public space. While combining readings, research and creative experimentation, we will work around three basic thematic cycles:

- Rituals
How do people inhabit contemporary cities through the performance of rituals carried out repeatedly and consistently
as part of daily life?
- Spectacles
What happens when urban space becomes a stage to host the exception to the routine?
- Transformations
How can designing using the links between performance and city-making create space for transformation?
