Ground Plan: The Problem
After giving the ground plan to John for the studio mark up, John emailed me bringing to my attention that the dimensions given to me were wrong. Rosie's model box states the acting space is 11,800mm wide, but it's not. And the floor cloth in place is 10,000mm x 10,000mm.
I had an emergency meeting with John Camble, and after ringing the Pavillion and getting the Ocean Room re-measured we can confirm that the space is 11,200mm. We worked out the set only just fits, but the concern is how it is going to look in the space. There is a Production Meeting happening tomorrow where we can clear things up before the set gets built this weekend.
It's so important to check measurements yourself and to be able to contextualise your work into a space; stupidly I haven't been to the Ocean Room yet, but I think John and I are going tomorrow. I have to stop relying on information from other people because their mistakes become my mistakes. This has been the first major hiccup of SP, hopefully will be able to get it sorted.
T-minus three days till build...
