False Pros Rigging
The false proscenium arch that is one of the main features within the duration of the opera is positioned between counter weight bars four and five.
The position of the false pros became an issue when trying to implement it on stage due to the fact it had to be between two counter weight bars.
Automation is not an option for this part of the stage as the building's structural "I" beams come to a node point between the grid panels causing the area to be too small for the automation spreader beam to fit in that area between bars 4 and 5.
A hemp bar would also not be possible due to the weight of the structure.
We finally decided on using the chain motors and a truss spreader to rig the false pros. Below is a detailed description of how we achieved this;
- 4 x loadgaurds
- 4 x 3m h30v prolyte truss
- 4 x 1.5m steel drift
- 12 x 3 1/4 shackles
- 4 x 2m strops
- 5 x 1m drift
- 4 x 8m drift
We used a 1.5m steal drift with the plastic sleeve and wrapped it around the node point and connected it with itself with a 3 1/4t shackle. we then hung another 3 1/4t shackle of this to attach the chain for the motor to. the motor was then attached to the truss with a 3 1/4t shackle on a 2m strop that was wrapped around the truss. ( this was repeated for all motors)
The false pros was then attached in two sections the header was attached with 1m drifts then raised until the bottom of the header was just off the floor. Then the legs of the pros were attached with pin hinges an 8m drifts then raised slowly into position.
