Hawthorn Supply RSVP Party and Event Talks
Hawthorn have been appointed as technical production contractors for the 2005 RSVP party at Olympia, supplying lighting, sound, AV, rigging and drapes.
With a low ceiling height and no provision for rigging, Hawthorn decided to make a bold feature of the truss and created a ground support structure with many long ‘spokes’ covering both the stage and the rest of the room. As UK dealers, Hawthorn used Prolyte’s X30V truss due to its light weight and superior strength, allowing large spans of truss with the minimum number of truss legs. With only a 3m clearance, they specified MAC 250’s and MAC 300’s, due to their small size, uplit with Thomas PIXELline battens.
Additionally, working in conjunction with Mask Event Design and Production, Hawthorn sponsored the Event Talks area. Hawthorn draped the room in their white Expo Cloth, a fabric they import into the UK for its light reflective abilities. These drapes were supported by Hawthorn’s free standing pipe and base support system, another product they specifically import for use in venues with no rigging points, and back lit in a colour changing pastel wash to complement Mask’s overall look.
Managing director, Martin Hawthorn, says: “We were more than happy to increase our involvement in the RSVP Exhibition this year by supplying the Party and the Event Talks, in addition to exhibiting at the event, which we have done every year since RSVP was launched.”
