The concept of a rehearsal room as performance space
The idea of using a rehearsal room as performance venue (or using one space for both rehearsal and performance) is quite common, but the idea of specifically naming it in this way is less common, for it is more specific in a way, particularly in experimental theatre - often seeking to indicate the work-in-progress quality of the work done in the space.
South African examples
The Rehearsal Room, Dorkay House, Johannesburg.
A space allocated to the training of black performers in Dorkay House, under the auspices of Union Artists. Also utilized for performances by Union Artists sponsored productions. Run by Athol Fugard in 196*-196*. Its first production was of Athol Fugard’s The Blood Knot in 1961.
