Groundplan
Portals
A main part of the design was six large glittery portals that also lit up. These had been used twice before for previous shows in outside venues and were not in great condition. We had to do quite a lot of work to them during the fit up to make them look straight.
Floor
The floor also had been recycled from previous shows. It consisted of simple MDF sheets which we painted black. It was then coated in 3 layers of high gloss glaze to give a very deep black mirrored effect. It was really important that we kept the floor clean and shiny.
Floor Care
To keep the floor clean and shiny I bought some simple bath towels from Primark and we used these to wash the stage. To do this, simply wet the towel with hot water, wrap it round a brush and push it in straight lines across the stage. Once done, rinse the towel and leave it to dry. This is a highly effective and very quick way to clean the floor and it also does not leave big water marks like traditional mops tend to do! We had to mop the stage at least once a day during tech work periods and then once before the show and again at the interval. I would highly recommend using towels to mop any stage.
NOTE - You will also want to sweep/vacuum the stage before using wet towels to get the best results.
