Set

The set consists of mainly steeldeck, but also has a 2 red curtains on the back wall and two hard maskers either side of the stage.

The steeldeck is as pictured below, with the back row being at 500mm high and the rest being at 300mm high. The circle around the 300mm deck is a platform, also at 300mm, built in sections to fit around the steeldeck and make it rounded. The deck was then covered with painted sheets and routered to match the curve of the stage.

The large red curtain was cable tied onto the tab track upstage of the steeldeck, and then cut down the middle.

Technical Challenges

The main technical challenge that we came across was bolting the steeldeck together, as the sides of the extra curved pieces touched the ground and the 300mm deck was too short to fit underneath. Because of this the curves and deck were flipped upside down, bolted together and then flipped back over, in as few sections as possible, while still being manageable. The middle section was then bolted together, and the large pieces either side were cabled tied onto the row behind, and then the small front section slotted in.
