RIGZ!: Sonic Sphere @The SHED NYC- Suspending a 325,000-Pound Design Load

Sun, Dec 7 | 09:15 AM - 10:05 AM

Session details:

Discussion-based presentation on the ups and downs of a crazy-heavy and unique rigging scenario.

The complexity of the project required meticulous planning and execution and the weights involved were enormous. The Sphere housed a stage deck surrounded by amphitheater seating, along with entrance and exit bridges. Inside were performers, audience and a myriad of equipment, including musical instruments, lighting and surround speakers. Original design loads were over 300,000 pounds.
