Technical Challenges
Quick release tension wire system
During the recent production of "The Seagull" there were several technical challenges that we had to overcome. As well as designing and constructing a 6 piece Kabuki drop, we also had to come up with a way of rigging quick release tension wire system.
Trellis pieces
Another effect that we had to achieve involved 6 tilting trellis pieces which tilted both on and off stage.
