TSD

This show was a fairly simple design with some little special effects for TSD.

Kabuki Drop

The centre section of the back cloth had to drop at the end of Act 1. We achieved this by creating a revolving conduit pipe, held inside staff pipe. The conduit then has many M6 threaded bars along which create the rigging 'hooks' for the cloths. The mechanism to revolve is made from pulleys that create a loop from the kabuki to the operator and back. This allows tension to be kept in one direction, and releasing to happen in the other.
