CAST:
Magee SS Students
My very first set design had some very particular requirements.
Magee had a set of large 4x8 frames which we used to hold changeable "flats" for each act as well as 2 large rotating rectangular cubes onto which we painted various background images, a flat bench was given a double sided backing piece so it could be an art deco seat in one scene and a set of beach umbrellas in another. And 20 yards of satin was used to create an "ocean" the actors could dance "in".Please click on photo to see it full sized.

My very first set design had some very particular requirements.
- Large wide steps to dance on
- Bright sun-drenched colours
- A deco look
- Utilize standard platform/risers as much as possible (4'x8' maximum 13)
- Use other existing furniture/set pieces as much as possible
- Students must be able to handle the change-overs between acts as quickly as possible.
