Inter/section is the CPP 3 cohort split into different groups putting on devised work. There is 6 sections - one per group, a prologue, and an epilogue.
===flux===
flux is an interdisciplinary performance which uses sounds, text, lighting and movement to explore interconnectedness and the transfer of energy.
===Raindance===
A cozy yet probing exploration of friendship, identity, and the allure of dreams. Against the backdrop of Glasgow’s unpredictable weather, two friends find themselves immersed in a deep conversation as they navigate the shifting rhythms of rain, wind, and themselves.
===It's My House===
Unfair judgement of self, and baseless criticism of others, is polarising and divisive, both for the individual and society at large. It’s My House explores the corrupt posher dynamics sustaining the oppressive cycle that leads people to criticise themselves and others, as well as how the destructive nature of judgement results in individuals becoming increasingly threatened by being perceived.
===Breakfast with Insomniacs===


An experiment interrogating out politics in relation to each other and in relation to the systems to live under and contribute to. It has been scary and fun and sad and good…

'''Backstage Blues'''
'''LIGHTING PLANS'''


Due to being unable to use blues during tech because of the SM Prompt Desk position, Neon Flex battens from the LX store were hung and put in a blue colour in the US + DS crossover area to provide light backstage.
Lighting master plan used for fit-up


'''Tree Trunk'''
<pdf width="975" height="550">Inter-sections_LX_plans.pdf</pdf>


The tree trunk piece contained 3 x LED Birdies, 1 x Martin RUSH Par, and a Micro Rocket Smoke Machine. A breakout box was created to run the 3 x Birdies off of 1 5pin LED QolorFLEX cable. This took the RGBW output and split it into 4 x 4pin XLR sockets to run the LED Birdies. A custom thin PowerCON cable was created so that the cables running to the trunk were as small as possible. In the end a single DMX, PowerCON, and 5pin QolorFLEX cable were run to the trunk. This was then taped over and painted by scenic.
'''LIGHTING CUE SHEET'''


'''Trapeze + Drop Bars'''
<pdf width="975" height="550">Inter-sections_LX_cue_sheet.pdf</pdf>


Due to the tight space in the wings, Channel 24 was rigged on a trapeze bar. This was created with a scaff bar and a fixed scaff clamp (clamped to Chandler LX bar) and a fixed scaff clamp at the bottom to create a vertical bar for the Source 4 JR.
===Hires===


Due to the large tree top piece suspended above the set, a lot of fixtures had to be dropped so that they could be focused without hitting the tree top. Threaded rod was used to drop generics and then double hook clamps with short scaff bars were used the hang the movers.
Being a member of the SLX lighting program, Jamie was able to benefit in receiving free equipment hire for this project. CPE also contributed fixtures to the project to act as a shakedown. The hired fixtures are listed below;


'''Rosco I-Cue'''
- 4 x Martin Mac Encore Warm (SLX)


A Rosco I-Cue was used to turn a S4 Profile into a moving spot. The I-Cue uses a DMX controllable mirror to remotely focus the beam around the stage. A DMX Iris was also used to add more functionality.
- 6 x Martin Aura XIP (SLX)


==Sound Design==
- 8 x ETC Lustr2 (SLX)


- 10 x Robe LEDWash 300 (CPE)


===SFX Plans===
- Various cable and networking equipment (SLX & CPE)


This was the initial SFX plan formed following the first stages of tech, This would soon become more advanced as the production continued.

===Other plans===


This prop mic was fitted with a DPA 4060. This was attached to the stand section of the prop, with an additional foam section added to house the pack. This prop would then be taken onto stage by Emma Gray (3rd Faustus) and Molly Geddes (1st Faustus). They would sing into the mic, where reverb would be applied to these vocals.
MIDI, MSC, and MTC was used in this show.


'''Hairline Mics'''
Midi was used to control desk scenes in the QL5 from QLab, MSC was used to trigger LX cues at specific points, and MTC was used at a particular point in the show to keep lx cues in time with sound. This was recorded to MTC in tech and the MTC triggered the lx from there.


Two of the actors Emma Gray (3rd Faustus) and Puvan Sanghera (2nd Faustus) were fitted with hairline Mics. These were DPA 4060s. These were used at tow different points in the show; The possession scene, where delay and reverb were applied. This was to give an otherworldly, unnatural element to the scene. The other point where it was used was the 'Ted Talk' style monologue, where slight reverb and a small amount of amplification was used, to make it seem as though Emma's character was speaking to a much larger room, as though part of a conference.

'''Dead Hanging Tree Piece'''
'''Practical Mic'''


To allow the tree piece to be as tight up to the catwalk as possible we needed rigging that would help us achieve that. Below are some images of testing with different slings and chocking techniques to give us measurements that we could then take to Vectorworks and see which suites best.
There was a flown (fake) Shure 55sh in one scene which was used both as a prop and to speak into.

One group also used CPC headset mics.

We finalised using a 1m with a single choke, this would allow for enough room for the set piece to be lifted higher using pulleys then rigged up and lowered back onto the slings.

'''Death Mask Drop
'''
The director wanted the mask to appear like it had fallen into the scene and bounce rather than just be lowered in. To get the appearance of a sudden drop a quick release system was created using two screw eyes into a wooden block which was rigged on to an LX bar and a pin which was tied to a line going off to the gantry.A loop was tied in the line attached to the mask, the pin went through this so the loop was sitting between the screw eyes resting on the pin and the mask would drop when pin was pulled.A hole was drilled into the top of the mask so that a line could be tied through it, in order to get the bounce effect elastic was used for the length between the first pulley and the in dead the rest of the line was made of sash cord to make it easier to fly the mask back out. The line ran through two pulleys, one directly above the drop on an LX bar and the other rigged on its side attatched to the catwalk so that the line could run along the side of the catwalk and on to the gantry, avoiding getting caught on lights.A cleat was made and attached to the gantry railing,the mask would preset on its in dead so that when it dropped it would pull the slack with it , when flown out the mask would be cleated off on top of the in dead.

Overview

Inter/section is the CPP 3 cohort split into different groups putting on devised work. There is 6 sections - one per group, a prologue, and an epilogue.

flux

flux is an interdisciplinary performance which uses sounds, text, lighting and movement to explore interconnectedness and the transfer of energy.

Raindance

A cozy yet probing exploration of friendship, identity, and the allure of dreams. Against the backdrop of Glasgow’s unpredictable weather, two friends find themselves immersed in a deep conversation as they navigate the shifting rhythms of rain, wind, and themselves.

It's My House

Unfair judgement of self, and baseless criticism of others, is polarising and divisive, both for the individual and society at large. It’s My House explores the corrupt posher dynamics sustaining the oppressive cycle that leads people to criticise themselves and others, as well as how the destructive nature of judgement results in individuals becoming increasingly threatened by being perceived.

Breakfast with Insomniacs

An experiment interrogating out politics in relation to each other and in relation to the systems to live under and contribute to. It has been scary and fun and sad and good…

Design

This show was designed throughout the rehearsal process by the performers with assistance from the production team who knew the performance space.

Lighting

LIGHTING PLANS

Lighting master plan used for fit-up

LIGHTING CUE SHEET

Hires

Being a member of the SLX lighting program, Jamie was able to benefit in receiving free equipment hire for this project. CPE also contributed fixtures to the project to act as a shakedown. The hired fixtures are listed below;

- 4 x Martin Mac Encore Warm (SLX)

- 6 x Martin Aura XIP (SLX)

- 8 x ETC Lustr2 (SLX)

- 10 x Robe LEDWash 300 (CPE)

- Various cable and networking equipment (SLX & CPE)


Sound Design

A loop station was used live on stage by one of the performers. This was complimented with some composition and foley made by the same student.

A stereo feed was taken from the loop station.

Speaker Plans

The speakers used on this show were;

- KV2 ESD 12 (L, R, C)
