Wood Bark
One of the main elements of the set design was to have the floor covered in bark chippings. We investigated the option of having real bark chippings, but instead opted for a rubber chip due to issues surrounding pests and insects. Although this was a more expensive option, we didn't have to use pesticide, or flambar.
As rubber chip is actually recycled tyres that have been chopped up, it was essential to thoroughly risk assess the bark.

Hessian
Director/designer wanted hessian around all 3 walls of the theatre. However, it was essential that we didn't block the audience's exit from the venue due to fire regulations. Therefore, it stopped at the setting line. Allergies.
