Joanne Tompkins, Julie Holledge, Jonathan Bollen, and Liyang Xia. Visualising Lost Theatres: Virtual Praxis and the Recovery of Performance Spaces

Abstract

Visualising Lost Theatres is an innovative study that uses virtual reality to advance new conclusions about the architecture and use of a sample of historic performance spaces. Theatres are conceived as “living systems” whose “flows” can be best appreciated by inhabited digital reconstructions of these spaces.
