We are doing Elephant Man and the director is looking to have a 9'x16' vintage looking circus advertisement to be hung as the audience is filing in. When the show starts he has the pinheads grab the banner and yank it down from its hang position (where it will be held in place by light duty clamps). He wants some kind of talcum powder infused or spread out over the material so that when the banner gets pulled down it leaves a lot of powder in the air to give weight to a light shooting through the area in which the banner was hung.
A couple questions come to mind:
What kind of powder is least harmful if accidentally breathed in by actors or audience members?
What kind of powder is easily cleaned off of the house carpet or audience seating should it settle in that area? (I do have extra house carpet and seating I can test the powder on)
What kind of powder would best hang in the air to give weight to the light?
Any other questions/variables I should be considering?
Thanks!
