Stage Management
For this year's Ballet Showcase there were a number of props that needed to be sourced. These included 8 wooden chairs, 21 white chairs and a small round table with a red phone.

Telephone and Round Table
For the telephone the chorographer wanted the phone cord to be very long and also to be white so I had to make some adjustments to the phone in order to meet these requests.
Step One
I first removed the old phone cord from the phone and replaced it with a headphone accessory set cable for use in rehearsals.
Step Two
Once there was a break in the Matthew Robinson rehearsals, I removed the cord again and used methylated spirits to take off the lacquer the phone cord in order for the paint to adhere better to the cord.
Step Three
I then used a white primer spray paint to paint the cord white. I did about 5 coats in total to give it a solid white colour. I then left the cord to dry overnight.
Step Four
I then reattached the cord to the phone.
Step Five
I then attached the phone to the table at first using Velcro which did not stick well to the table so in the end I used a hot glue gun which made the phone secure to the table. Eventually my ASM had to screw the phone to the table as the hot glue was not strong enough.

Plan
In the Ballet this year there was a large amount of flying cloths. There was the BP, a black gauze, upstage full black, a star cloth (borrowed from Scottish Opera), a downstage full black and house tabs. The Star Cloth was 15m wide with an 8m drop. It was fiberoptic so to avoid harming the cables by folding it back on a bar and it was flown on HV30 Truss in stock and 2 automation points (winch 3+1).
