Thematic Brief

Entertainment events are enhanced by the settings in which they occur. Of particular importance is the performance area which enriches the audience experience through creative use of structures and of factors such as movement, light and sound. With the evolution of personalised technology, opportunities now arise for individual members of the audience to interact with, and create an effect on, the performance area.

Within the context of contemporary design and with a focus on enhancing the audience experience, design and make a working model of a dynamic performance area for an event of your choice. Individual audience members should have the opportunity to enhance their experience through interacting with the performance area.
The model should incorporate electronic and/or mechanical systems and should also be well presented.
The maximum dimension of the artefact you present for assessment should not exceed 500mm.

I was thinking about a motion senor,the movement of the crowd will affect the lighting

I was thinking of making a stage where the light intensifies as the crowd gets louder. But, i've never made a circuit thats sound sensitive. Does anybody know how to go about it?

You’ll probably have to get your teacher to make the circuit

I don't really think this would enhance the performance area, I think it has too much of an effect on the performance area and would alter the performance too much
