Stage lifts have many uses in stage performances, mainly including the following aspects:
Quickly change scenery: The main lift arranged in the main performance area of the stage is mainly used for quick scenery change. In the typical "品"-shaped stage of a dance theater, the lift, together with the side car stage and the rear car turntable, can quickly change the whole stage or part of the scene, allowing the quick change of three full scenery.
Meet the needs of stage craft layout: In the "品"-shaped stage of a dance theater, auxiliary lifts are often arranged in front, back, left and right of the main stage lift. The side and rear auxiliary lifts are used for the smooth opening of the side car stage and the rear car turntable, and the front auxiliary lift is used to place the rear car turntable closest to the stage entrance. In addition, the leveling lift can level the table surface after the side car stage or the rear car turntable is opened, so that there is no height difference on the entire table surface to ensure the safety of the performers.
Meet the needs of stage designers and play directors: In different plays, according to the requirements of stage designers and play directors, the different height changes of the lift can be used to change the shape of the stage, adapt to the requirements of the plot for the scenery or venue, and save manpower and material resources consumed in setting up the scenery. In addition, the tilting device of the lift can form an inclined table to better highlight the perspective effect.
Create a special atmosphere and effect: According to the needs of the plot, the lift can create some unexpected atmosphere and effects. For example, the low-speed descent of the lift can be used to express the sunken ship in the sea, and the valve on the lift and the actor lift can be used to express the sudden disappearance and appearance of the personnel.
Change the form of the stage: The lift can change the form of the stage according to the needs of different performance genres. For example, the orchestra pit lift can combine the proscenium stage with the large stage lip or even the extended stage, so that the theater has a variety of forms such as end stage, extended stage, island stage, middle stage, T-shaped stage or hall.
Storing and transporting items: In some theaters, the lift can also be used as a tool to store stage carpets, soft scenery, etc. In addition, a scenery container transport lift is installed at the rear of the main stage or at the end of the side stage to transport items vertically from the ground to a designated location or even the stage plane.
