Animal Farm
Work continues on “Animal Farm.” We’re reaching the end of hang and getting ready for focus, platforming is going into place, and I hope to begin carving the foam sloped areas later today!
Since the Hicklin is also used for acting classes, all of the rehearsal furniture usually lives there. Since it was time to put the risers in place, here are Intro students Jane and Michael in the midst of moving the rehearsal furniture into the Barnett Theatre.
And then later on, risers in place, with the lighting console brought down from the booth and set up for use during focus:
We’re trying out Jaxsan to texture the surface of the platforming to create a waterproof mud-like surface. I’ve coated a couple of planks to test it out:
And then, after the Jaxsan cured over the weekend, painted the samples:
Speaking of light hang, here’s student ME Emily (with lighting instrument on the left) and some of student electricians:
Here’s the platforming as it was on Friday afternoon at the end of shop:
And Intro student Aaron working on framing more platforming:
And our TD, Ruth, standing in the middle of the pond after more platforming was set in place Monday afternoon:
