Young Vic Production Information for the 2012 JMK Award

THE CLARE THEATRE
The Clare is equipped with a flown truss (see plans).
The floor is black hardboard which can be painted (at cost to the production), and must be repainted black after the production (again at cost to the production).
The walls are covered with unpainted ply wood. If you wish to change the finish they must first be clad with hardboard or similar (at cost to the production).
There are no stocks drapes for the Clare, but black wool serge drapes may be borrowed from the Young Vic stock, subject to availability

SEATING
The Clare Theatre is an open flexible space that has no fixed seating as a consequence everything that is put in there from installing seating to lighting and set needs to be considered in the production’s budget. Installing most seating configurations into the Clare will take around half a day and the Young Vic will provide staffing for this. A production with a seating design which requires a longer installation period should budget for additional staff time.
There is a maximum capacity of 60 and achieving this will very much depend on your choice of seating configuration.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT
The Young Vic will provide a duty technician throughout the run, 3 technical staff for the fit up and 2 staff for technical rehearsals (up to a maximum of 10 hours per day and 43 hours a week). Additional staffing costs will be recharged. The Young Vic can provide one operator who can operate either lighting or sound for the run of the show.

EQUIPMENT
We will provide a basic lighting and sound rig. Any special items such as projectors, smoke machines or moving lights need to be hired in and will come out of the production’s budget.

COSTUME / PROPS
The Young Vic has a limited costume and props store. Items may be borrowed subject to availability and prior agreement. There may be costs attached such as transport and dry cleaning that will be passed on to the company.

ACCESS TO WORKSHOP
The Young Vic may be able to respond to a request for small amounts of building work however this will depend on other commitments and work the Young Vic is undertaking at the time of pre-production.

MATERIALS
All designs and materials used must be approved by the Young Vic and comply with all current legislation and guidelines and set down in the ABTT technical standards of entertainment (the yellow book).
