We already fought with this for our (usual) commencements. We park a couple projectors on a mezzanine at the top of bleacher seating, and tape off seats two rows in front to prevent people from blocking the projector and getting odd tans on the top of their heads. Tape won't work. Signs don't help. If they want to sit there, they'll do it. Our current setup is to ratchet strap AV carts into the seats, and cover the whole thing with a couple taped-down tablecloths to hide it's workings. Marginally works, but they still try to scoot it to the side and sit next to it.I have no doubt that no amount of spike tape will prevent my patrons from sitting wherever the hell they want.
One major thing I think is being missed in this discussion is the types of shows you will be able to have when you have to apply social distancing to the cast and crew as well.Personally, I think all this is a nice discussion... but just like all the restrants that are opening that are empty I think we'll be in the same boat. I don't see a world where people come to shows even with all this stuff in place. Shows will be more expensive to produce and make less money. One breakout traced back to a theatre and the whole thing is shot. We'll need legit guidance from government on this. In my state I think the guidance will be "stay closed". I would go at this the other way, write up what a "normal" day looks like, hand that to your public health expert, and see what they come back with.
Loving your ballet lift example!That ballet lift at 6' apart will be something. There will simply be a large segment of performing arts that should not be done. Solo and small ensemble where people can spread out a little maybe possible. Vocalists will reject the masks though perhaps not necessary as sufficient distance. No end to the challenges.
Hopefully there will be a vaccine eventually and immunity will last. Until then, public assembly seems risky.
This got shut down hard today. Why? Because they didn't get approval from the state health agency, it was scheduled for 3 days BEFORE the re-open start date, and no proof of any protocols in place. So the Governor said "No" and squashed it. To which I shed zero tears.Well, here is one live concert coming up,

small tidbit. If you are doing layout for maintaining a six foot distance between people, you should be using a 3' diameter circle (or what ever shape you prefer) and not a 6' diameter one. heck, if you want to get real nitty gritty, you might consider 3.5' to account for the fact that people are finally small like a dot in the middle of that circle. point being a 6' diameter circle would get you a 12' distance between two people.
Yes, sorry.I think you mean a radius of 3 feet, not a diameter of 3 feet. ( and a circle with a radius of three feet has a diameter of 6 feet)
I would STRONGLY suggest you look into hiring an outside consultant to help created your procedure or delay until resources like the ESA release guidance. The liability fallout of an outbreak will be disastrous and at this point there is insufficient data for the average "user" to develop a reliable and effective plan. This is not in any way a comment on your personal ability or qualification, but rather that even the experts in public health crisis don't yet agree on what works.
Checking temperatures of a mass of people seems like one of those things that makes us feel safer, but actually doesn't accomplish much.
If I am planning a night on the town and I have a choice between two venues, one with thermal imaging tech and the other without, I am taking the one with the tech 100% of the time. m
