Playing locations Harmoniebuilding during the SITM-festival Groningen
2 to 7 july 2001
In and around the Harmoniebuilding there are three playing locations (see ‘location-overview.pdf’’), each with its own specific character and facilities.
The participating groups have been allocated a playing location according to the information they have provided us with.
The universiteitstheater is a technically well-equipped black box theatre.
(black box-dimensions: 14.1 meters long, 9.6 meters wide and 5.4 meters high)
The theatre offers place to an audience of 120 people on a tiered stand, leaving a playing-area at floorlevel of about 7.5 meters long and 10 meters wide.
For more details see technical information Universiteitstheater.
2 Aletta Jacobsplein (also called ‘voorplein’), outdoor location
The Aletta Jacobsplein is a square, about 26 meters long and 19 meters wide.
During the festival it will be transformed into an open air theatre to make larger open air performances, which make use of lighting and sound, possible.
A fifteen-tier stand, seating 300, will be built. The paved area of the square left free will be used as playing area. (there will be no raised podium)
The playing-area will be 11 meters long and 11 meters wide and the façade of the Harmoniebuilding, with its three arches, will serve as background.
It will be possible to enter and leave the playing area from the (covered) area behind the arches.
For more details see technical information Aletta Jacobsplein.
The Binnenplein is a square, about 35 meters square with a tall and slender sculpture standing at about 5 meters from the centre of the square.
This square is the alloted location for performing smaller outdoor performances in daylight-only and without sound amplification. (only a modest portable light- and soundsystem will be available)
At one side of the square there will be a pavement café.
Performances may be held on any free area of the square. The audience will be standing and can be arranged as to preference (for exemple frontal or in-the-round)
There may also be several seats (benches, chairs) available.
