<div>Putting all the seating riser blocks on air bearing pads. When you needed to move one, drag over the air hose and hook it up, then two persons could easily move the entire section around. But I'd add a quick shutoff valve on the air input, so once you have it just perfect, you don't knock it off position disconnecting the air hose. </div><div><br></div><div>Dale</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div id="composer_signature"><div style="font-size:88%;color:#364f67" dir="auto">Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE smartphone</div></div><br><br>-------- Original message --------<br>From: Jon Ares via Stagecraft <stagecraft@theatrical.net> <br>Date: 4/18/17 16:41 (GMT-05:00) <br>To: Stagecraft Mailing List <stagecraft@theatrical.net> <br>Cc: Jon Ares <jonares@arescreative.com> <br>Subject: [SML] Floor plans of black box/studio theatres they really like? <br><br>Howdy all... I'm putting together a "wish list" of sorts (pipe dreams,<br>really) for potentially a new black box/studio theatre....<br>purpose-built, rather than a re-purposed space. I'm digging through<br>my notes and drawings from when my current building was in the design<br>mode, and I can't find the proposals the architects and theatre<br>consultants pitched, when there was a discussion of building the black<br>box from scratch. It was a pretty good design, but I just can't find<br>it. Anyway, no big deal.<br><br>Does anyone have any floor plans of spaces they really thought worked<br>well? Good audience egress, good access for the actrons and scenery...<br>good circulation and very flexible (but not in a "It's flexible<br>because of all the awesome moving walls and elevators and other<br>kinetic things that break" kind of way).....<br><br>I'd love to see and hear what you thought made a space work well.<br>(Not terribly interested in rehashing the thousands of "Don't do what<br>so-and-so did - worst theatre ever" stories... we all have those<br>stories, and have all worked in those spaces. Particularly interested<br>in the "They did this right" or "This was clever/successful" stories.)<br><br> - Jon<br><br><br><br>-- <br>Jon Ares<br>www.arescreative.com<br>http://backstagethreads.com<br><br>____________________________________________________________<br>For list information see <http://stagecraft.theprices.net/><br>Stagecraft mailing list<br>Stagecraft@theatrical.net<br>http://theatrical.net/mailman/listinfo/stagecraft_theatrical.net<br></body></html>
