Technical Challenges

Floor Cloth

One of the main design elements was a large painted floorcloth. Due to the nature of the AGOS as a concert venue, we were unable to fix into the floor. This created a logistical challenge with the floorcloth.

We decided to weight the edges of the floorcloth down using a number of fly weights from the Ath. These were placed in a wooden channel that workshop manufactured, along the side and back edges of the cloth. This resulted in needing approximately 120 fly weights.

Despite

These fly weights needed to be removed, and returned to the loading gallery before and after the production period.
