Lin Huiyin, Grey space, Stage art design, Stage setting.

In the 1920s, when the new discipline of drama was first introduced to China for only a decade or so, Lin Huiyin began to approach this art and practiced performance design personally, becoming the first Chinese female scholar to receive training in stage design in the West, and her research results in the field of architecture were also displayed in her stage art creation. Grey space in architecture refers to a transitional intermediary space between the more enclosed indoor space and the open outdoor space. Due to the unique spatial layout and architectural structure of ancient Chinese houses, many intermediary and transitional grey spaces had a high frequency of occurrence. This spatial structure characteristic was also applied to the stage art creation of Prof. Lin Huiyin.
