Holmfirth Theatron School

The word 'theatre' derives from the Greek word ''theatron'', used by the ancient Greeks to describe a place offered for viewing. The word ''theatron'' in turn, emerged from the verb ''theaomai'' which means to see, to watch, to observe.

As the name itself confesses, the relation between the sense of sight and theatre is instant. We 'watch a theatre' and not 'hear a theatre' because a theatrical performance is not offered without the ability of watching it. The eye is the 'tool' for people to reach to sight.

​

An eye basically absorbs the light rays that are reflected by any objects and when passed from the pupil, it's time for the millions tiny light-sensing cells that convert these light rays into colours or movements.

​

The project is based on the concept of perceptional perspectives.Two viewers that have just watched the same theatrical performance might not have comprehended the same meaning. Their eyes have seen the same light rays and movements by the performers acting. Their minds though interpret the performance in different ways.

​

The question however is why do people interpret the same show into different ways? The answer comes from drama itself; ''A dramatic theory is a real, sensually tactile space of the imagination, that speaks not only the imagination of the recipient to, but well its sensual perception during the performance.''
