Performance Spaces

The two-story, 2,700- square-
foot Black Box Theatre performance space, located in the basement level 2 of the ATLAS Building,
is designed to provide digital technology for interdisciplinary performances that combine musicians, dancers, visual artists and technology, visiting artists, Web casts, interactive audio and visual performances, student and faculty video production, and creative digital cinema.
In this state-of-the art environment, students and faculty can seamlessly merge creative endeavors with the latest in digital technology.

• The Black Box is home to one permanent and five portable high-end projectors, chroma-key and full black-out production environments, a fully controllable saturated lighting rig 20 feet above the performance floor, and 360-degree dual tracks for curtains.
• The Black Box offers multi-track recording and is HD-TV capable.
• The performance space also has the capability to add seating for an audience of up to 150 using a portable riser/chair system.
• Both wireless and wired broadband Internet access is available throughout the Black Box.
• Complementing the Black Box is a ProTools equipped voice-over booth. From a segregated control space, readings can be multi-tracked and delivered in a variety of digital formats.
• All ATLAS production and control facilities are linked with intercom and closed-circuit video monitoring to ensure seamless communication.
• A ''green room,'' adjacent to both performance studios, is furnished to provide performers with all necessary off-stage comforts.
