On Stage effects
Tue, 8 May 2001, 06:04 pmHaving just read some intersting comments about theatre in Gosnells I hope that I can get some help from you all.
Acorn Theatre "The Smallest Theatre in the World"(Guiness Book of Records) is getting set to perform Roald Dahl's "The Witches". I would like some technical advice about on stage explosions. They are being used to cover human sized actors turning into mice (actual size).
We have thought about flashes of light and coloured smoke. Any other ideas?
Thanks
Wes

RE: On Stage effects Warning
Wed, 9 May 2001, 10:57 amDon is right you NEED a licence to use and buy pyrotechnics in Perth.
A "TPOP" (Theatrical Pyrotechnics Operators Permit) is the lowest permit you can use. In adition to Prodesign there is also Stage & Studio design (that is where I got mine from).
There are saftey requirements for distance from actors, audence and set. These are a MUST.
Failing pyrotechnics you could allways attach a smoke machine to some aircomditioning ducting, Just an Idea
