Looking good on the dance floor

Scene Stealing Bloom

We manufactured various elements for this production including a large hinged stage platform, covered with plywood and a black dance floor surface, with an integral 6m long tilting ramp. Ramp and platform could be raised and lowered as the performance dictated. The real scene-stealer, however, was a highly distinctive 6m by 4m red flower with folding petals, mounted on a steel skeleton and attached to the rear of a large black bed.
