Had to be involved in some marking out of the Theatre floor for the show Slice of Saturday Night. The plans had been drawn up and we had to work from the plan when measuring out the floor plan onto the Theatre floor.
(Picture above shows the scaled floor plan, top left and the beginnings of measuring and scaling up onto the Theatre floor)
We had to measure the floor and scale the plan up so we could mark it out on the Theatre floor. We took turns measuring and also laying down LX Tape where it needed to be, to mark out the plan onto the floor. When using the tape we had to make sure we didn't pull and stretch it whilst laying it down to stick to the floor as apparently when you do this it tends to lift up overnight and you end up having to mark out again. If left the bits that may of had risen, get scuffed up. The marking up was done so we would know where the staging and the set would be once placed in the Theatre. It would also allow us to know how the space would be used and how much would be taken up.
The set of Slice of Saturday Night will be using a Thrust format and the whole seating of the Lafranc Theatre will be changed for this show. The audience will be around the set in two places plus the audience will be able to stand on a third side or possibly sit on the floor. Slice of Saturday Night is a Promenade Show.
