A Sneak Peak Behind the Scenes on Tour with BTUK


After a brilliant start to this seasons tour, we are giving you an insight to the behind the scene with some snap shots.

An important part is the 'get in', where the technical team have a large amount of work to do. This is where they prepare the stage ready for the show by laying down the specialist floor, hanging the cloths and setting the intricate lighting plans, adapting it to suit each and every venue on the tour.

Once the technical 'get in' is complete there is the time for the dancers to take part in a company class. This is a crucial part of the preparation as it enables the dancers to warm up ready for the performance, and is completed before every show. This usually happens on the stage. Then time is spent blocking the show, adapting the performance where needed to suit the staging and space for each venue.
