Technical Stage Department

Design

From the initial design white card, the technical stage department was tasked in finding a solution to hold hundreds of items on a vertical plan as a back drop. With original ideas of using a cargo net, the department got to work to try and source a net suitable with of taking the weight and also fitting into the budget. Due to the amount to items being placed on this 'cargo net' a decision was made not to use the net as several issue arose; cost, transport and safety loading. We begin to look at more structural options and with this in mind we purchased one sheet of welded wiremesh. In the first weeks of workshop time we began to load test the mesh, loading to full of items but also 4 stage weights - to a total weight of 100kg - this would allow us to hopefully take a safety factor when putting together a full structure made of wiremesh.


The go ahead was given and the production purchased 14 more sheets of 2440 x 1220 welded wiremesh panels. A piece of box steel was welded onto the top of each panel to allow the weight to be evenly distributed. Holes were then drilled to accomidate a carabiner - this would be our panel connection point to the whole structure. Due to the possible cumulative weight as each pannel is hung off each other, we decided to hang each section of wire mesh individually on two trapeze bars. The whole structure would then be hung off two 1/2 t Load Guard chain hoists onto 8m HV30 Truss.


Rehearsal Room Get-in

After discussions during a production meeting we all decided that during the tech week in the rehearsal room, if possible, the structure should be hung in the room.

Van Pack

With the show touring down to the Tron and then the Cockpit, due to the size and time it takes to erect it, the backdrop would not be traveling to London. A day before the Tron load-in, the vans would be packed. As the mesh is not going to London plus a few extra large set pieces a second van was needed to transport set from the Tron back to RCS.


Packing List


Tron Load-in

The Sunday get-in for the Tron was going to be tight for this department - only 4 hours. The Sunday priority was to get all of the structure, screen and border to be hung.
