Changing room

A changing room, locker room, dressing room (usually in a sports, theater or staff context) or changeroom (regional use) is a room or area designated for changing one's clothes. Changing rooms are provided in a semi-public situation to enable people to change clothes in privacy, either individually or on a gender basis.

Separate changing rooms may be provided for men and women, or there may be a non-gender specific open space with individual cubicles or stalls. Sometimes a person may change his or her clothes in a toilet cubicle of a washroom. Many changing rooms include washrooms and showers. Sometimes a changing room exists as a small portion of a washroom. For example, the men's and women's washrooms in Toronto's Dundas Square (which includes a waterplay area) each include a change area which is a blank counter space at the end of a row of sinks. In this case, the facility is primarily a washroom, and its use as a changing room is minimal, since only a small percentage of users change into bathing suits.

Parts of a theatre

Types of theatres

  • Arena/Stadium: The playing area is in the center of a large open space which usually seats thousands of people.
  • Proscenium: The audience directly faces the playing area which is separated by a portal called the proscenium arch. The stage is often raised a few feet higher than the first rows of the audience. The audience is on a rake, getting higher as the seating goes towards the rear of the house.
  • Thrust: The playing area protrudes out into the house with the audience seating on more than one side.
  • Theatre in the round: The playing area is surrounded by audience seating on all sides.
  • Traverse: The elongated playing area is surrounded by audience seating on two sides.
  • Black box theatre: A bare-bones stage of various seating types.
  • Stage

    The area of the theatre in which the performance takes place is referred to as the stage.

    Stage directions or stage positions

    In order to keep track of how performers and set pieces more around the space, the stage is divided up into sections oriented based on the performers perspective to the audience. Movement is choreographed by blocking which is organized movement on stage created by the director to synchronize the actor's movement onstage in order to use these positions.
