Kinesys are Movin’ Out into the West End
Kinesys were asked onboard by Total Fabrications’ Chris Cronin, who designed and built the 14m wide by 8m deep structure that moves several times during the performance and is in full view of the audience throughout.
The platform needed to move up and down as well as tracking upstage and downstage, so Kinesys supplied five of their Velocity drives and a laptop running their proprietary Vector software. The four two tonne winches - one in each corner of the structure - were supplied by TFL and travel at up to a quarter of a metre a second; the platform is tracked by a single motor and line shaft system and is controlled by the fifth Velocity drive.
The show is scheduled to run for 16 weeks at the Apollo and then tour UK and European arenas.
