Introduction:
Design Brief
For this project, the idea is to create an indoor attraction for Old
Portsmouth in order to attract more tourists within Bath Square. At
the same time, the concept of the ‘Theatre Hotel’ will also
benefit the Creative Arts Community as this building will be
offering Apprenticeships to the young professionals in the
Performing Arts field who wishes to fulfil their careers by working
and training at the ‘Theatre Hotel’. This building will help and train
young actors/actresses in how to give an outstanding performance
for the visitors before they step into the real world of Theatre. They
will be trained on ‘method acting’ where they’ll play a certain
character and portray the persona within each narratives.
The chosen narrative for this scheme is an ongoing murder mystery
of the death of Amy Baker. In this narrative, the hotel will have
employers that are inspiring and independent actors/actresses
taking on roles of hotel staff and being part of the narrative, it is up
to the audience members to solve the case and identify the killer
through a similar game structure of ‘Cluedo’ as this scheme
was inspired by one of the many existing pop cultured
references.
