Stage Management
Technical Stage Department
Due to covid-19 we were unable to put this show on in the way it was originally planned. The TSD Department were able to start the fit up but then we had to move online and so were not able to finish the build or be there for the performances.
Our first challenge for this performance was that is was happening in Rs2 and so we had to turn it into a venue. Along with the designers and director we spoke about a couple different layout options for the truss and then decided on a stage that is 12m wide by 4m deep. We then added 4 stick of truss going across the top to give lots of rigging options for all departments.
Our second big challenge was that they wanted lots of flying set pieces which was going to be hard as we have very little space to hide the set when it was out. After explaining this to the designers we agreed that it would be ok for the set to be seen even when they are out.

Preparation For Productions
Preparation for this show was made more difficult by COVID restrictions both for meetings, attending rehearsals and prepping kit. IN terms of Kit prep we were very lucky to have the all new RS2 sound kit. This kit included 4 Ex6, an SQ5 from Allan & Heath as well as a dante card and a lot of new cabling. ⧼embed_pdf_invalid_relative_domain⧽ We had planned to hire a comms system from Blacklight however this was derailed in the final stages by the national lockdown and uncertainty of the show as a whole.
