Stage tower: More than twice the height of the proscenium

An internal cross-section of a stage tower. The space above the proscenium is tall and empty, allowing entire sets to be vertically hoisted completely out of the audience's sight. On both sides within the tower are working platforms and a gridiron, densely packed with battens and steel cables. The height of the tower is about two and a half times the height of the proscenium. Avoid: compressing the height of the stage tower to be close to the proscenium, allowing hoisted sets to be visible below the proscenium opening, removing the gridiron and working platforms, depicting the inside of the tower as an empty, clean space.

一個舞台塔的內部剖面。台口上方的空間高聳而空,佈景可以整片垂直吊起完全離開觀眾視線;塔內兩側是工作平台與柵頂,密佈吊桿與鋼索。塔的高度是台口高度的兩倍半左右。避免:把舞台塔的高度壓到與台口接近、讓吊起的佈景露出台口下緣、拿掉柵頂與工作平台、把塔內畫成空無一物的乾淨空間。
