ARENA several pages of Scenery thoughts.
Of course elements suggested here will work just as well for
a Proscenium production.

A FLIP CHART
This Musical will last approximately 20 minutes
(CHECK THIS WITH PATRICK) So it is quite likely it will form part of a
concert
in
which there other plays/events/choirs. Therefore any scenery will have
to be
simple
and easily
set on and off the acting area. |
One idea (based on a suggestion by Andrew) is
a free standing "Flip
Book" . This to have a series of 10 feet long by seven foot high
canvases which are flipped over by teachers, no doubt standing on milk
crates. (Seven foot is a bit high)
To be effective I suggest a picket fence is placed in front of this flip
chart. |
| |
| For Scene Two - "the night sky",
- rather than have a painted canvas, the back of the flip chart (The plywood
sheets) could be drilled with holes and Christmas tree lights pushed through
them. |

| CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS Below are the construction
drawings for a proposed "Flip Chart" Most of the plywood triangles
omitted for clarity. These drawings may be hard to decipher, so at the
bottom of
the page
you will
find links to PDF versions of the same sketches. (DAMIEN but
at least the font on the gifs below are the same as my original) |

| Damien - One
of my computer programs (either CorelDraw or Adobe Acrobat) changed
the font on my original vector drawings from AvantGuarde
to something practically unreadable once it appears as a PDF. But no doubt
you can sort this out when I give you the originals. What is the best
file extension for you or can you deal with .cdr? (Coreldraw) |
