Stage equipment construction design

　　The history of stage equipment construction and design can be traced back to ancient times,when due to technological and cultural limitations,the performance equipment was very simple,with very few installations,and more relied on dance and music to show the stage effect.

　　Ancient Chinese stages were usually made up of wooden frames and curtains painted with various patterns to make the performance more vivid.There are various mechanism devices on the stage,such as rotating silhouettes,flying mechanisms,etc.,to enhance the stage effect.In some historical dramas,simple architectural structures such as city gates,palaces,mountains,etc.are also added.

　　The history of stage equipment construction design is inseparable from the development and change of performing arts,while the development of modern stage equipment construction design pays more attention to technological innovation and environmental protection.The use of emerging materials not only greatly improves the reliability and durability of stage equipment,but also has beautiful shapes and designs.

　　Now,the continuous progress and change of technology continues to challenge the imagination,creativity and technical level of designers,bringing more surprises and novel experiences to the construction and design of performance and stage equipment.

　　In addition,with the increasing awareness of green environmental protection,the electronic and mechanical technology used in the new equipment can greatly save energy and effectively protect the environment.

　　Stage equipment construction design

　　Stage equipment construction design was not paid attention to in ancient performances,but with the changes of the times and the development of culture,stage construction and design have gradually become the focus of people's attention.The following is the specific process of stage equipment construction design:

　　1.Determine the stage construction needs

　　This process is usually done by planners and directors,who need to consider factors such as the elements that need to be represented on stage,the theme and atmosphere of the performance,and the distance and interaction between the audience and the actors.

　　2.Analyze the stage structure

　　Stage designers need to position and plan the position and size of individual elements according to the structure of the stage.The structure of the stage usually includes the stage platform,stage curtain,lighting,sound,special effects,and so on.

　　3.Make a sketch

　　On the basis of planning and analysis,the designer will use professional stage design software or hand-drawn sketches to draw specific stage construction images.These images need to be detailed in the position and size of each device,prop,light and sound,taking into account the combination and articulation between the individual devices.

　　4.Develop a construction plan

　　After the design drawings are completed,a specific construction plan needs to be developed.This stage needs to take into account the actual construction conditions,including manpower,material resources,time and budget.Once the plan has been developed,the construction plan needs to be reported to the customer and approved by them.

　　5.Make construction drawings and material lists

　　After obtaining the customer's approval,detailed construction drawings and a bill of materials need to be made.These drawings need to indicate the model,quantity,and specifications of each component,and list the name,quantity,and price of the required materials and equipment.

　　6.Organize construction

　　Organizing construction is the last stage of stage equipment construction design.In this stage,it is necessary to organize the technical personnel and implementation team and coordinate various details,including equipment installation,material distribution,on-site construction management,etc.It is also necessary to carry out inspection and debugging to ensure the normal operation and perfect presentation of each equipment.

　　Stage equipment construction design is one of the important links of stage art performance.By combining the performance content and performance needs,the stage designer creates a perfect stage that can convey the artistic conception of the performance,which occupies a very important position in the entire stage construction design process.The stage construction design has the following considerations:

　　First of all,stage designers need to fully understand the theme,style,plot,characters,etc.of the performance,and make design ideas.Moreover,we must think deeply about how to present the content of the performance through stage equipment,and how to concretize the connotation of the performance and the artistic expression through stage construction.They also need to consider site,equipment and personnel constraints to plan out how to design a satisfactory stage with less space and equipment.

　　Second,design the layout for each scenario.They need to consider lighting,sound,props and other aspects according to the stage content,the scope of activities of the actors,the characteristics of the performance,etc.,to ensure that each performance link can be carried out smoothly.They also need to regularly check the integrity and operation of the equipment to ensure that all equipment can be used properly during the performance.

　　Finally,it is necessary to work closely with the team of show directors,gaffers,sound engineers,etc.to ensure that every detail of the performance is fully grasped.They also need to pay attention to the performance of the actors,and better show the emotional connotation that the performers want to express through details such as performance installations,stage scenes,and musical effects.

　　Therefore,designers not only need to meticulous technical analysis and summary,but also need to have an innovative and aesthetic vision,and be able to explore new artistic expressions and design concepts on the basis of absorbing traditional aesthetics.They also need to constantly learn and explore new equipment technologies and processes in order to better promote the development and innovation of performing arts.

　　In summary,the construction and design of stage equipment can provide indispensable support and guarantee for stage performances,which is an extremely important work.Good construction design should consider all aspects,not only the stage effect,but also the issues of safety and sustainability.Therefore,in actual operation,it is necessary to combine the experience and technology over the years,comprehensively consider various factors,and strive to achieve the optimal design to ensure the success of the performance and the satisfaction of the audience.
