Yesterday afternoon we had another production meeting for [title of show]. These meetings are a way for all the designers to get together with the director to talk about their designs and work through problems they are having.
So much of theatrical design relies on the other design in the show. All the elements of design (sets, lights, costumes, props, projections, sound, etc) are so closely related that the lines become blurred sometimes. For example, the set of [tos] has lighting booms (freestanding poles with lights hanging up them) incorporated into the set design and also includes spaces for images to be projected onto it. These meetings let everyone become involved in the collaborative process and bounce ideas off of each other.
The biggest topic of discussion was led by Natalie Kearns who is our Props supervisor. The show's production values are described as having "four chairs and keyboard". Each character has their own chair that shows a little bit of their character. She has done a great job at finding four really lovely chairs and we were talking about minor changes to be made to make them fit more. She is changing the cover on one to change the color. Painting another. Cutting the legs of another to make it a little shorter.
Here are some pictures of possible chairs Natalie came up with a few weeks ago. Which ones will make the final cut? You will have to come see the show to find out.
