Starting with a raked floor we built the area that would eventually hold polystyrene
mounds
The polystyrene blocks are added
And are smoothed out to form the shape of two mounds (for touring, the whole
area needed to come apart for ease of transportation)
Carpet is placed on top and foam crumb is applied to it using strong glue and Idenden texture.
On site at the theatre with 3 ladders placed into slots that have been welded underneath the main floor and each one at a specific angle.
The front elevation of the stage showed exposed roots to give the impression that the whole front area had been dug away.
