Technical Information for Tiger and Tiger Tale TIGER and TIGER TALE (7+ to adults) are essentially the same show, Tiger told through the eyes of the parents and Tiger Tale told through the eyes of the daughter. The technical set up is exactly the same for both shows. TIGER TALE runs approx.: 56 minutes TIGER runs approx.: 6 6 minutes A pre-‐rig and get in the day before is required. SET When touring outside of Europe we recommend that the set is built by the host venue rather than freighting the set. Tiger and Tiger Tale bring the following Scenic elements, all of which travel with Barrowland Ballet:
• Cage set which is exactly 7 meters by 7 meters wide, by 3.5 meters high. It is primarily a large scaffold cage that sits on half-‐meter wide ply boards, the set is not flexible and requires 7m by 7m wide space.
• The set is covered in taught string. • 23 galvanised buckets hanging from the set, 3 additional galvanised buckets • 3 chairs
WE REQUIRE FROM THE VENUE:
• Performance area of 8m x 8m • Black dance floor, pre-‐laid minimum covering 7m x 7m (the set will be placed in top
of this) • Props table x 2 (location to be agreed on arrival) • Two black drapes to cover equipment
SEATING:
• Both Tiger and Tiger Tale are performed in the round • Seating to be set a minimum of 0.5 mtrs from the edge of the 8 x 8 mtrs

• Seating must be raked for every row, if there are two rows of seating the second row must be raised.
• For Tiger Tale there can be cushions/mats, then benches then chairs depending on the capacity for rows. Each single row around the four sides of the set seats approximately 48 to 55 seats, depending on chair size.
• For Tiger benches first, then chairs can be used. • Raked banks of seats work well if this is an option. • The audience will not see the dancers if the seating is not raised as there is floor
work throughout the performance. • Each corner of the set there should be a corridor for members of the public to enter
and exit between the seating. Health and Safety
• Matches – at the beginning of the show the daughter strikes one match before putting it out in a metal bucket. The metal bucket has a wet sponge at the bottom to ensure the match stays out.
• Oil Burners – two oil burners are used intermittently throughout the show to create an orange smell. They are constantly manned by our Stage Manager.
We have a musician/operator (Kim Moore) who requires a small table for her equipment she will be seated in the front row. If you look at the set from the FOH position she will be placed Stage Left, downstage corner. Please take this into consideration for fire exits and seating. LIGHTING WE REQUIRE FROM THE VENUE: The Lighting should be pre rigged.
• Due to the size of the set the Lighting pre rig is advised. The set is a cube, 7x7 meters wide & 3.5 meters high.
• A rough focus could be done on the proposed playing area by finding the center of the playing area and marking out 3.5 meters in each direction to establish the edge of the set.
• The grid should be approximately 3 meters minimum from the top of the set and the 4 boom poles set 4 meters away from the outer edge of the set on two sides only.
• All lighting gel to be supplied by the Barrowland Ballet or replaced if venue has gel in stock
Detailed lighting design plans and focus notes will be sent on request: • We are bringing the show files on a USB stick. It was programmed on a ETC ION • There are two designs (A-‐ Large, B-‐Medium) we insist on the A – Rig wherever
possible • The design is primarily washes with two special and 4 boom poles. A light will be
required for Kim Moore the musician who sits Down Stage Left.
