Design

Ballet Paperclip

The design consisted of black masking legs in the first half and white masking legs in the second, along with an aperture type background that masks the BP screen.

The black/ white masking legs were achieved by hanging black soft legs and then flying hard maskers (covered in white material) in front of the soft legs. The white hard maskers would be flown in during the interval and weighted/ set in place. By using dog leg frames on the first 2 sets of soft legs they also acted as side masking to prevent too much of the wings being seen throughout both black and white parts of the show.

The aperture was achieved using a similar approach to the one that had been designed on Opera 2, a track with hard maskers as leading edges and half tabs to cover the remainder of the track. To change the height of the aperture a full black is flown in front of the track and can be set at the required heights. To prevent the track bowing it will be rigged on a 16.5m truss span and hung on 4 chain motors. The truss span will also be strapped off to fly floors to prevent it swinging.
