Sorry, after rethinking this, I'll try to explain better. The
drop will be 10 feet behind the front wall inside of the domed area. The
batten will be about 16' off the
stage level (currently under construction) and will provide a "backstage" area for
crossover as well as serve as a
portal for entry and exit. What I'm having an issue with is that the
drop itself will be tied to the
batten for most of the span, but once we get to the side walls, they curve, so the
batten will end and there will be roughly 4' (which SOUNDS like a fabulous
egress to me) of space which will be uncovered. His idea was to tape the
drop along the curvature of the wall so it's still along the same plane left to right. just the sides will follow the contour of the archway.
@theatricalmatt - There's not going to be any flying here unless he finds a way to blow up the roof and invent a super structure to work off of (in which case I wouldn't have this headache!). Also, even if we could afford a video wall, I can't find one vendor to even make a site visit. I can't even get a vendor who will bring a few movers to demonstrate.
@microstar - I understood the concept, I'd just need to hang the shape of the curved
cyc vertical rather than horizontal. Which doesn't work for travellers but since this won't be on a traveller, it might be what I end up doing (not to the
track, just to
conduit extensions). We need the shape of the
batten to look more like an upside down U than a sideways I
If the renovation doesn't put me over the
edge, the first show will.
