stage and sand
Thu, 6 Jan 2005, 09:38 pmI'm doing a show next year that takes place on the beach, does anyone know the best way of going about purchasing enough sand to cover a stage, how much it would cost, the best way of protecting a stage and getting in and out.
Thanks.
Thanks.

As bst my knowledge could assist you, it would really depend on the type of show, the size of the stage and the style to which you want to present it.
The only time which i've seen sand used on stage was about 4 years ago.
The sand was boxed into the set with a primeter for 3x2 timber, which was lined with a realitivly thin layer of plastic to stop excess accidents. (by the way, no matter how well you try to control it, the sand will go EVERYWHERE!) (bold lettering used as emphsis!)
The stage was 10m by 5m
It required a trucks worth or sand.
Because of the space and where the sand was dumped, it all have to be wheelbarrowed up 1 story. (and back again for bump out)
To represent a beach (for example), the above boxing method you kind of ruin the effect, however without it you'll have less control (and more to clean up).
I hope I've helped you out (even if its just a little)
any further question, dont hesitate to ask
