Black box theater
A black box theater (or experimental theater) consists of a simple, somewhat unadorned performance space, usually a large square room with black walls and a flat floor. It is a relatively recent innovation in theatre.〔http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-black-box-theater.htm〕 Not to be confused with black light theater, which is also known as black theater.
==History==
Black box theatres became popular and widespread particularly in the 1960s and 1970s,〔 during which low-cost experimental theater was being actively practised as never before. Since almost any warehouse or open space in any building can be transformed into a black box, including abandoned cafés and stores, the appeal for nonprofit and low-income artists is high. The black box is also considered by many to be a place where more "pure" theatre can be explored, with the most human and least technical elements being in focus.
The concept of a building designed for flexible staging techniques can be attributed to Swiss designer Adolphe Appia, circa 1921, and instigated a half century of innovations in the relationship between audience and performers. Antonin Artaud also had ideas of a stage of this kind. The first flexible stage in America (not a proper Black Box due to the domestic decor) was located in the home living room of actor/manager Gilmor Brown in Pasadena, CA. This venue, and two subsequent permutations, were known as the Playbox Theatre,〔http://dynamics.org/ROGER/THESIS/〕 and functioned as an experimental space for Brown's larger venue, the Pasadena Playhouse.
