Horizontal Flying Performer

An effect was required for a performer to be flown horizontally in the CPP production Sing Sing Sing in the Chandler Studio Theatre, December 2010.

For this we used a simple block and tackle (4 X Advantage) system and some rope access gear to provide an element of lock off safety should the operator let go of the rope. We also used the Amspec swivel harness for the performer with the two hip attachement points linked together by a sling to create a central pickup point.

Below is a diagram of the system.
