Group 24 THE SECOND ACT (Posted 22 Apr 2026 15:54) – MSA LIVE 26

W6: 21/04/2026 - 22/04/2026
Over the past 2 days, we finally got a reply from the community center we will be engaging with, and we executed our engagement activity! On short notice, we were told that this Wednesday craft group session would have less attendance, however, we used that to our advantage, as we got to gain deeper personal insights and experiences from the elder demographic who have witnessed and experienced the evolution of the city.

We were very lucky to engage with such friendly locals, who were fortunately on the same page, agreeing with our concept of repurposing the theatre. This creative group really helped us gain some valuable insights on the types of spaces we would create inside the theatre, which worked really well alongside the precedents and visual imagery we provided.

Overall, our engagement was considered successful, we were able to identify the gaps in the city, and now we have a clearer direction on how to fill these gaps.

Since we could not access the inside of our building, we also conducted an exterior site visit, allowing us to get a closer idea of it's materiality, size, form and context.
