Transforming the Stage

Another alternative presentation I used as an undergraduate to present my research was this second year assignment presented as a pop-up book. This was undoubtedly inspired by my parents giving me a pop-up book on architecture that Christmas. And you know what? – making these little models actually helped me understand some of the ‘basic theatre techniques and mechanisms’ I was writing about, the counterweight fly tower, for example.

It does look a bit on the bland side, this remained very much an unfinished project, I always thought of it as a white card model that I would illustrate/colour further, but never got around to it (yet!).

Thanks to my parents for taking the photographs!
