Set Plan 19th
November 2012. My notes taken from a meeting with the designer, scenic
artist and technical drawing supervisor on 20th November 2012.
Zangler’s Shop.
·
Two moving frames, being made by the
carpenter and then having a black wash. Made, ready
to paint.
·
Two mannequins, sourced. Three mannequins 2 female, 1 male.
·
Counter, dress with wood and then it needs
painting, what effect, flat or will there be drawers?
On the 29th dress the one they’ve been using in rehearsals. The
designer decided on MDF to decorate the counter. The scenic artist and I gave
our concern that it would not have a grain however the designer chose this. We
therefore need three; “plain and wooden” door knobs as described by the
designer.
·
Stool. Sourced
but needs painting. The same colour that the chairs are being painted (dark
brown). I am going to check with the director that it is ok to paint anything that was
from the acting store.
·
Till, Vintage toy one, sourced, ok? Sourced, designer agreed this with the director and stage
management. Could need dressing.
·
Broom, sourced? Use
broom from Cementville.
·
Flooring? Black
gradient to front – interior. Cobble stones that fade to black – Exterior.
·
Newspaper, Viennese, what kind of newspaper
do you want? E-bay, enough time? Ask the director if
he has rehearsed with this? Moves around a few times in the design.
Madame Knorr’s.
·
Polystyrene heads, sourced. Would have to be covered with fabric? I researched and
found out that Eduard Simon invented Polystyrene in 1839. Are we using the ones
in rehearsals?
·
Fabric drops down from larger of the
frames, could this be organza (we had some cream from the archive that was used
for Canterbury Tales, is this suitable?), which is tied at the back so that it
can be easily untied during the performance. Has something similar to this been
rehearsed? The designer said this would be good
however I will check with the director that this is ok, as he will need to
rehearse this.
·
Hats, have we got something suitable in the
store, are there spare hats that the designer has sourced for the costumes and
wants to use? The costume designer is choosing these.
·
Large round mirror. Check with the director about this, as it is not on the props list.
·
Coat stand, sourced. The designer would like it to be painted the same colour as
the chairs. ASMs in costume will bring props and set on and off stage.
Imperial Garden Café
and Imperial Garden.
·
2 tables (these can be taken through the
props door on the set) with 2 covers (to floor), fastened down, so they don’t
fall off when taken off stage? Could be Velcro as then we can change this
easily for Miss Blumenblatt’s. One cover - double
sided for Miss Blumenblatt’s. The designer has made two out of calico which she
would like to use.
·
Cutlery and plates for 6 places. Sourced by ASMs –following items.
·
Champagne bottle. “
·
Tea lights and holders. “
·
6 cups and two large tankards, sourced? “
·
6 chairs. Sourced
but need painting.
·
Screen, needs re-covering, what fabric are
we recovering it with? Gold edging. Look in
rehearsals.
·
Newspaper still there.
·
Tea light and holder x2. ASMs
·
Fake Cake. “
·
Lobster in a covered tray, never seen? “
·
Leaves and vines, ‘outside’. The designer requested that these could be made on a wooden
stick so they can be taken on to the set for Miss Blumenblatt’s garden. Some
military camouflage netting has been sourced by the designer, just need to ok
this with the director and then buy it.
·
Garden table and two chairs. Talk to the director about this, as there is not enough
room behind the set for these.
·
Garden lanterns x3.
Need to be sourced.
·
Food Trolley. We
have one however it might need dressing; ask the director if we can change this
if necessary?
Miss
Blumenblatt’s.
·
Rug. The designer
said this could be cut, check with the director.
·
New table cover, floral fabric (to floor). Source something suitable.
·
Newspaper remains on set.
·
Oval mirror comes back on stage.
·
Two candlesticks and a flowerpot, sourced. Buy real flowers for the performances as Miss Blumenblatt
takes two out and gives them to characters. This would also look much better
than fake flowers and the designer agreed.
·
Organza draping added as curtain in window
to the garden. Rolled up, tied and dropped down. Has
this been rehearsed?
Miss
Blumenblatt’s Garden.
·
Vines and lanterns moved to the inside of
the stage (SR).
·
2 shrubs, flat boards, real or painted.
Could these come through the swing doors? The
designer chose to cut this.
·
Ladder, sourced. 3
options available, the designer has to choose and inform the scenic artist of
any dressing that will need doing.
·
Tree. The
designer chose to cut this.
