Due to the minimalist style we were incorporating into our piece the stage was almost bare save for four chairs, two hatstands, the door frame and the eight hanging picture frames. Originally we planned on having a box at the back of the stage which would contain each characters props, but we felt that it may take too long to find each desired prop in the box. So Lucy thought up the idea of introducing two hat stands (which Joe sourced for us) onto the stage, this way the props could be found instantly, meaning the fast pace that we wanted throughout the performance would not drop. Having the hatstands at the front of the stage also brought more of the action towards the front of the stage meaning it could be seen better. In order to communicate to the technical team at the LPAC what our stage would look like I created a floor plan. The floor plan is also important when looking at the lighting plot and focus sheets as it helps show where everything is situated on the stage and puts the light placements into perspective.
