Equipment Used

For Curtain Call Cabaret we used the following TSM related equipment

Counterweight 2 - Full Black Tab (To Mask Iron)

Counterweight 29 - 2x Full Black Tabs (Folded in half to create middle partition)

Counterweight 27 - 6m Triangular Truss Hung (3x 3m Strops and 3x 2m Steel Drifts)

1x Full Black Tab - Tied to scaff bar and suspended under prompt side fly floor using hemp lines to raise it and cleat it off to the fly floor (To Hide Prompt Side Wing)

600mm high stage created from 7 peices of steel deck (x6 8'x4' and x1 4'x4')

3 sets of treads - USC, DSR and DSL - were used for access to and from stage.

Notes

TSM for this performance was largely a fairly simple matter of hanging blacks and positioning steel deck; the rigging of the truss for LX was a little more complex as we were at first not sure on the best method of using the strops.

The setting for the space we aimed to still resemble a stage space, rather than creating a black box, however in hindsight we would probably have hung a second black, US and gridded, to hide the cyc, which was still visible above the 2 half tabs in place.
