Nottingham Playhouse Visit - Getting an idea for the space

* Design for the small and they fill the space when designing something that will be moved to another venue.

Masking is important, especially for the playhouse, giving the audience the idea that the set and the world of the play continues behind what we can see. A curved Syke is useful for the playhouse as it has extreme sight lines. ( Curve, perspective, distance, trick the eye, illusions)

They have:
* 28 steel decks avalible (Rake Stage)
* Revolve 5.5metres in diameter
   ^ Chain driven revolve, can be hand turned
* 6m by 2m flats
* Floor design is important for the Nottingham Playhouse, in the circle is it visable
