How a shell gets to the stage

  1. Black wooden panels with brass hinges, folded into one flat stack and strapped to a dolly in a loading dock, lit by a work light.

    It arrives flat.

    Folded down for the trip in, the panels travel as one flat stack.

  2. Gloved hands swinging a curved black panel open on its brass hinge; the next panels stand in a zig-zag, their plywood edges showing.

    It unfolds.

    Hinged panels open out into the curve of a grand.

  3. The finished shell under an amber spotlight: a row of hinged black rim panels with brass hinges, the lid raised above them.

    It takes the stage.

    Under stage light it gives the show the look of a grand piano.

The photographs illustrate the idea. Ask us about the pieces for your show.
