What is the ‘big (IDEA)’ behind this project?
The Big Idea behind Rosebud Secondary College’s Performing Arts Centre was to forge stronger ties between school and community. This was achieved by providing a visually arresting, multipurpose venue that not only served the College’s strong programs in dance, music and theatre but also filled a facility gap within the region. The internal spaces were designed to accommodate various user-groups and the main theatre is formed from two large areas divided by a folding partition wall. The dance space, with its sprung floor, also houses the retractable seating which, when extended, provides audience seating during a performance.
