Primary school performances are an essential part of school life, promoting confidence, collaboration and positivity across the student body. Lots of factors contribute towards a memorable show and having the right staging is essential if you want things to run smoothly. There are all kinds of staging options available depending on the size of your performance space, including modular staging. A highly cost-effective and multifunctional performance tool, we’re going to explain how modular staging can unleash creativity and transform your primary school performances.
What is modular staging?
Modular staging is a portable type of staging suitable for all kinds of events, including presentations, talks and performances. They are lightweight and portable which makes them easy to assemble and take down after use. You can also add together different pieces of staging to create a tiered effect or to extend the space available for a performance.
What are the benefits of modular staging for primary school performances?
As the school year draws to a close, end-of-term performances will be fast approaching and you may also be beginning the planning process for next year’s events. There are many reasons why modular staging is the perfect choice for your primary school performance.
Quick to set up
Putting on a great primary school performance is very time-consuming and finding ways to save time for last-minute run-throughs and tweaks is key to a successful show. Modular staging is a perfect choice if you want to cut down the time it will take you to set up your stage, as it is designed to be easy and quick to construct. Different-sized blocks conveniently slot together to create your desired size stage without eating into your all-important rehearsal time.
Boosts confidence
It’s perfectly acceptable to plan a primary school performance without any staging at all, particularly if you have small classes or are just trying out different forms of expression within the classroom. However, one of the benefits of encouraging primary school children to perform is that they can build their confidence when faced with an audience. Modular staging is a great tool for elevating children above their peers and families so that they can be properly seen by their peers and have the confidence to deliver lines or songs without getting lost in a crowd.
Customizable
Not all children enjoy being front and centre of the stage, but staging and scenography can provide great opportunities for those happier behind the scenes. Staging solutions come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, including triangular stages, so children will have great fun planning creative layouts that are only possible due to modular staging’s inherent versatility. What’s more, the sheer scope of customisation means that you can easily tailor stages to the requirements of your classroom, hall, or performance space.
Easy to pack down and transport
Many primary schools find that space is a real issue. Good-sized classrooms often take priority over larger multifunctional areas that can be used for performances, which means that clever staging solutions are required. Modular staging requires minimal assembly and can easily be packed down and transported to safe storage within your school. This makes it a great choice if you’re planning to host your primary school performance in an area that will need to be used for different means soon after the curtains close.
Safe and stable
There are lots of important safety considerations you must make when putting on a primary school performance and having safe staging should be high on your checklist.
