THAR 4353 - Studies in Stage Automation Systems
Within the entertainment industry multiple methods of automation technology are being utilized for the purpose of moving onstage design components including scenery, stage properties, lighting, sound and projection surfaces for the purpose of changing the visual landscape of the stage throughout the production. For these multiple systems used in the area of stage automation to be useful, they must be reliable, repeatable, and often programmable to enable changing travel distances/ length of time to travel scenarios. Automation is enabling large scale scene changes to occur within the natural rhythm of performance; eliminating the need to endure long interruptive transitions between scenes that negatively impacts the production.
