In order to have a better idea of an audiences and performer's specific movements and requirements before i go into starting any designs, I have begun a process of tracking and mapping out information from various venues. Here's an example of the National Theatre concert pitch last Saturday afternoon.

What i found particularly interesting about this free performance that takes place before another, much larger, performance is the way that the public move. This stage and seating set up is situated right in a thoroughfare between the main entrance, cloakroom and bar. The public's movements generally changed once the performance had begun, creating a space between the stage and the small block of seating, even considering the small amount of space left to move through.

In these models i have represented the movements of the public in three stages. Firstly, the movement leading up to the start of the performance (green). Second, the movements whilst the performance was taking place, (represented in red) and finally the movements once the performance ended (shown in blue)
