The Seagull

Role: Scenic Carpenter

Venue: California Institute of the Arts- E400 Theater

Description: For this show, we created a large moving box that tracked up and down stage. We created this using a steel deck platform built on pneumatic wheels and a truck differential. We modified the truck differential to have a large wheel that allowed actors to turn it in order to move the wheels, therefore moving the box up and down stage. We also created a bathtub with a clear acrylic window, and a filtration system for while it was offstage in order to maintain a safe PH balance. We also covered the deck of the space in granulated cork in order to simulate dirt cover, and created several benches that were used throughout the show.
