[Technology] What issues should be paid attention to in the stage craft of theater construction?

Blindly imitating the mechanical stage form of Europe

When we study foreign theatre construction experience, we mainly learn from European experience. But the large-scale imitation of the European stage form is not necessarily the stage form that best suits our theater. Most of the theaters in Europe are theater repertoire theaters. Their performance system is performed every day during the performance season, and it is played in different dramas. The large-scale scenery of the performances is used more. Therefore, it is often necessary to prepare a set for the next show on the auxiliary stage around the main stage. Most of their mechanical stages are mainly for the purpose of transporting sets. The main school in our country is the stage of this model in Europe.

Most of China's theaters are rental theaters, which have different performance procedures from Europe. They are used to: installing the platform → performing several identical programs → dismantling the stage, and the mechanical stage for transporting the scenery is basically useless. Some people mistakenly think that these stage machines with the main task of transporting scenery are mainly used to participate in performances. In fact, many stage machines used for performances are specially designed to have higher safety requirements and better performance effects. . The stage machinery that carries the set as the main task has a relatively simple form of movement, and there are not many opportunities for using the performance.

2 Ignore the understage stage form of North American countries

The most common form of stage in North American countries is the stage under the air. This form of stage has many advantages and is more suitable for the use of rental theaters. The Metropolitan Opera House, which has a mechanical stage, is one of the few exceptions in North America. The FDA theater design consultant said that the mechanical stage of the Metropolitan Opera is only one in a thousand in the American theater.

There is an empty silo on the stage below, and the stage is made up of a piece of stage floor and placed on a removable steel frame. This form of stage is characterized by low cost and flexibility. On such a stage, there are often some unexpected dramatic effects that can't appear on other forms of the stage. The stage below is easy to transform, and some special effects can be combined into the stage for some special effects. The flexibility of the stage below gives the drama workers enough creative space to better meet the requirements of the various stages of the theater. Dance professors, theater design consultants and stage staff in the United States and Canada believe that the most important consideration in the design stage is flexibility. The stage should be able to easily adapt to the needs of various performances, especially the convenience of adopting various modern Technology to achieve a variety of stage effects. They did not understand why China only built a German-style mechanical stage theater, and did not build a North American stage theater.

Nowadays, there are quite a lot of people watching movies and exchanges in the theaters of North American countries. However, there are not many people who have the opportunity to go deep into the stage of the warehouse. They have entered the warehouse and know fewer people. The following empty stage is still not in our country. Caused enough attention. The promotion and promotion of the work under the stage is still in its infancy in China.

3 too many types of stage

The character-type stage is the most popular stage form adopted by Chinese theater designers. Some people say that the stage of the character-type stage created in China within ten years is more than the sum of the similar stage of the world. In fact, in order to meet different performance requirements, the European mechanical stage has a variety of forms. For example, a drum type turntable suitable for drama, a checkerboard lift with a specific effect, a multi-layer mechanical stage that can convert a stage top, and a large turntable of 38 m diameter and the like.

There are many changes in each type of mechanical stage. Taking the character-type stage as an example, it can be simplified reasonably, such as increasing the depth of the lifting platform and reducing the number of lifting platforms. It is also possible to build only a single-sided platform and make an asymmetric stage. . These are not only the design according to local conditions, but also the starting point for meeting the needs of different dramas.

The author has worked with Hangzhou Tianren Architectural Design Institute to design an asymmetrical stage with a single-sided platform for the Blue Sky Theatre. In 2014, the author conducted a return visit. The general manager of the Blue Sky Theatre said: In the past three years, hundreds of various plays have been performed. Foreign theater companies and domestic national, provincial and municipal theater companies are satisfied with the configuration and equipment of the theater. There have been no cases where the performance requirements cannot be met. It can be seen that the stage of the character can be simplified. In addition to the character type, the four-sided stage can also be made into a field type that is conducive to the rotation of the set, and can also be developed into a seven-sided stage and a nine-sided stage. In short, we can learn from the stage form of Europe, not just a kind of learning. It is necessary to select a suitable mechanical stage form according to the needs of the performance, and it is also possible to develop some new mechanical stage forms as needed. Like the multi-layer mechanical stage of the Shanghai Oriental Art Center Theater, the double-deck turntable of the Chinese Theater is more in line with the requirements of the project.

China's character-type stage has been created too much, and we should consider building other forms of the stage as much as possible, so that the popular theaters have a suitable stage to perform. In particular, we must not blindly violate the law when we do not have the conditions for the construction of the character-type stage, and hard-produce some of the plausible cottage-style stage.

4 The width of the port is too large

In the past ten years or so, there have been about 70 mirror-framed stages with a width greater than or equal to 18 m in the new theaters in China, which has clearly deviated from the actual needs of the performance. The view that the wider the mouth of the station is, the higher the theater grade is, there is still a certain market. When a province built a large public theater in 2013, the main leaders of the local cultural department proposed the estuary at least 20 m. I don't know what kind of drama the big Taiwanese theater will be ready to perform in the future. How good the performance can be.

At the ninth festival, there were 70 repertoires, and 69 repertoires of the repertoire proposed the requirements for the width of the entrance. See Table 1 for details. Three of the repertoires requiring a width of 17 m or 18 m are acrobatics, requiring many repertoires of 16 m or more, and the width of the pedestal required is not used during the performance. The facts show that the width of the mouthpiece that is most suitable for the performance requirements of our country is 14 m to 16 m. Some people think that when the 18 m port is not needed, the table can be narrowed through the false table. In fact, after the fake Taiwanese contraction, the audience's line of sight and other conditions will change, and the theater is not in the best use. Therefore, the width of the theater's mouth should be determined according to the needs, at least not only in the theater with a width of 18 m in a region.

The width of the counter is not an isolated parameter. The width of the counter is increased. The space of the theater and the size of many equipments are enlarged. The building area and investment will increase accordingly.

Featured by its wide flat surface with top bend, T16 generates lighting with astonishing uniformity, covers all the colors we offer and all functions. All types of IP68 mold injection connectors and DIY connectors are also available for this size. This size can be widely designed for façade lighting, pool lighting, architecture lighting design and etc.
