Overview

Stage Management

Technical Stage Department

The set was made up of exhibition-style flats that were able to be pin-hinged together. To achieve the desired 'Letter Box' look, the entire set sat upon 400mm steel deck and was framed with Hard Maskers. The steel deck became an advantage as we could bolt through it to support certain flats.

There were many technical elements to the show making it a busy show and stressful tech. Due to the Chandler Studio not having a setting line like the Ath, I decided to create my own to ensure the steel deck and flats could be centred correctly and exactly where Lasse Fischer wanted them.

 

Sugar glass

The sugar Glass smash at the end of act 1 was certainly a highlight of the show. The glass was broken during the show using an emptied, yet real, fire extinguisher.

Sound

This show made use of the amazing set, by going for as much naturalism as possible. This meant the sound design had to head in the direction of realism and this started with speaker placement. This was achieved with two KV2 EX6s in the far L and R as a main PA, to be used exclusively for transitions states. Three KV2 ESD12s in a L,C,R position just slightly behind the main PA, these were for very specific spot effects and positional ambiences. On top of this we had two KV2 subs on the Catwalks for transition music.
