jack Explanation: Il tirone is an extendible bar used to support a scenic part (flat). Like il tirone, the triangular-shaped la scroscia also supports scenery parts but is fixed to the side with hinges. Slides 27 & 28: http://www.slideshare.net/arteinscena/lezioni-di-scenotecnic... La scroscia looks like a triangular-shaped jack. Definition of a hinged jack and how it is held in place with sandbags: 'JACKS: triangular frames attached to back of flats, usually with hinges. May be anchored to floor by a hinge...or with a weight (as a stage weight or closed sandbag) placed on jack to counterbalance weight of the flat.' http://www.ia470.com/primer/scenery.htm |
