Deflection Theatre

Deflection Theatre uses specific curved gestures to allow light to be deflected and absorbed into spaces. Natural and artificial light deflects and travels along materiality's to illuminate each programmatic space. A specific louver system also reduces and controls sound transmission when vocal control is preferred. In the community spaces, the louver distancing is larger to allow for vocal and visual engagement. The building has community facilities at the forefront of Dundas Street, a light well for circulation, then near the back, the private stage space. Deflection Theatre uses curved gestures therefore allowing light to be reflected and absorbed, reduce sound transmission, and define programmatic location.
