Abstract
Space in relation to performance has been a paramount subject in recent
theatre practice and academic discourse. This is owing to the
indispensable nature of space to performance. The actor, audience and a
space to perform have been the three essentials of every performance, be it
the conventional theatre, festival, ritual, etc. Although space is concrete
and visible, there are other intangible spaces of the performance
environment that often interact with the immediate place of performance
during a performance process. This paper espouses other forms of space
that are not readily visible but yet exist in places of performance and
contribute immensely in enhancing the overall impact of a performance
experience.
