Technical Specifications - updated 14 Dec 2004

Ondulation can be presented as an installation or a performance in a white gallery or a "black-box" theatre space. The pool can be constructed using modular stage risers and can be of various dimensions. Two technical riders are described below:

Large format (performance or installation):

Imperial riser: 32'x20' (10m x 6m)
Metric riser: 10m x 5.3m

Ideal minimum clearances: 2m behind, 3m at the sides, 11m in front and 9m to lighting grid.

Small format (performance or installation):

Imperial riser: 16'x12' (5m x 3.6m)
Metric riser: 4mx3m (13' x 10')

Clearances: 2m behind and at the sides, 9m in front and 4m to lighting grid.

The water in the pool (roughly 2500litres and 1100litres for the large and small pools respectively) is about 5cm deep and is coloured with a white, non-toxic dye.

All setups require a controlled audio-visual environment, a water source and drain, theatrical lighting, a front-projection screen or white wall surfaces, 4.1 surround sound system, a high ceiling with lighting grid or rigging points and a floor surface that is not over-sensitive to moisture. Raked seating for the audience is preferable. Exact specification spreadsheets can be downloaded below. Setup time is between three and seven days depending on the size and version. All versions require shipping - precise crate dimensions on request. Batteries not included.
