Initial Ideas
I first considered a flying piece, something along the lines of the car from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, however I did not feel it was challenging enough. Yes during my research there were challenges in rigging and flying a car in the Atheneum due to size, weight and proportion, but by challenging I wanted to do something that is not really commonly done in theatre.
I started looking at the different elements, I came across the Chelsea flower show (random I know) and I noticed that it had a particularly interesting water feature. James Dyson had designed an uphill water feature which I found really interesting. So I have been looking into different methods to re-create this idea and how I would construct it on stage.
