The stage is a machine for worlds. Rigging flies scenery; trapdoors/lifts reconfigure floors; automation keeps cues tight.


🛠️ Core Systems

  • Grid and fly: linesets, pulleys, counterweights.
  • Floor mechanics: traps, lifts, wagons.
  • Cueing and safety: lockouts, checklists, rehearsals.
System Function Note
Fly Vertical moves Balance and braking
Traps Sudden reveals Guard and rails
Lifts Level changes Synchronization

✅ Safety Checklist

  • Daily line inspection.
  • Clear fall‑zones.
  • Red‑tag faulty gear; log fixes.

Magic is discipline behind the scenes.

Peek at the rigging plots; they read like music scores.
