A practicing place where it can be said as the base of the creation of Shiki Theater Company, a tour report of the "Four Seasons Art Center" - The second part -

PrequelSo we mainly introduced the facilities used by the actors in the four seasons, but in the second part they asked me to show the room such as props, props, and showed the state of the work. Once the props made here are used in the stage and once they finish their roles they will be stored in Nagano 's Four Seasons Art Center.

An interesting sight has spread all over the place, such as costume production of "Sound of Music" which will be performed for the first time this spring, and special makeup production of "Beauty and the Beast" and "Phantom of the Opera". In addition, we also showed a powerful solar power generation facility that almost all of the electricity inside the building was covered.

Details are as below. Floor plan inside the building. Most of them are occupied by rehearsals.


I asked them to go up to the place of the rooftop solar panel. A huge solar panel is put in place.



A panel that shows how much electric power can be supplied now in solar power generation system. It is surprising to say that even in winter, electricity of the facilities in the hall can be covered just by solar power generation.


It is still huge even from the back side.


Also, there is a rainwater reservoir in the basement basement that has the role of preventing flooding of the river.


I will enter the costume room.


Many costumes will be created from here.


A gorgeous dress.


"Sound of MusicThe bishop 's clothing was almost dressed in torso in almost completed form.


There is also a fitting room.


Like department stores, shoes for fittings seem to be preparing to some extent in the costume room.


Serious look.


Instead of sewing machines, it seems to work hand-sewn.


A chic dress is on the table. Can we make further adjustments?


There is an amount enough to occupy about half of the room, with only the performance costume.


Therefore, hanger is prepared in large quantities.


The fabrics are lining rows.


It is a characteristic and eye-catching costume.


It seems that they are shrinking together. A line silhouette of the dress is beautiful


This is a costume for children, so it is smaller and cute than what we have seen so far.


The costume of "Sound of Music" was played for a long time.


"Crazy For YouA part of the costume 's costume was also kept.


Many torso is used. If you hear that you handle all the actors' costumes here, I feel that this may be insufficient.


Many sewing machines were also placed.


Things necessary for work are gathered in one place.


Accessories such as socks were lined up in the drawer on the corridor.


Next we will enter the acoustic room.


The main sound room has full-fledged facilities.


When opening this place, it is a mechanism that can deliver sound directly to the next training place.


Various sound recordings are done here.


When looking at the actor's eyes, it looks like this.


Several rooms are also prepared in the back of the main room.


A room even smaller than the above picture.


Equipment such as a microphone stand was lined all along the room between the room and the room.


Even though it was suddenly called, there was prepared an emergency exit set so that you could leave at any time.


There is also a drawing room, some of which are "Aida"The design used for the poster was decorated.



To the "Tateyama room" handling wigs etc.


Ophelia's wig that appears in "Hamlet".


Facilities like a little hairdresser are in place.


In the corridor, I will head to the old building with the room of the props. The new wing that I have been looking at was built in 2006, and before that, the training was done mainly here.


The room of the props is a charm like a studio. Various tools are tightly placed.


A mannequin with a tremendous presence. I asked what kind of program he would use for a concert, which means that the clothing department requested a repair. "The boss other than the stage tools why they come here for some reason," he smiles.


These heavy burnt-ons are special make-up types. "Phantom of the OperaPhantom of "beauty and the beastBeast's special makeup is made using this type.


There are plenty of molds and rags. Since each type of actor naturally has different characteristics, it will be a considerable number.


Firing it here, shape it.


It seems that baked goods are pinched and dried like laundry.


It seems necessary to knack to firing the gloves necessary for the role of beast, and a note has been stolen.


"the wickedThere was also a mask that appeared in.


I am making a glass that looks like champagne is in.


After hardening it seems to be inverted and thus dried.


Various equipment such as electric saws.


Chemicals and paints are also staggered.




Because there are Korean staff, separation of garbage box etc was announced also in Hangul.


There was a little cat puppet. Tiny.


These are said to be used in "sound of music".


It seems that props are also made in Asamino.


In the neighborhood where making the props, large scale equipment and the like were piled up high.



This is the Theater Company Shiki Booking Center. When you make a reservation for ticket reservation, you are connected here and the operator will guide you.



Of course, of course, the spirit of eco is alive.


This impressive phrase was also in the old building.


The dumbbell is slick.


It is very similar to making a rehearsal area in the new wing that entered in the lesson section.


Both acoustic and lighting are perfect.



Notice that a new theater "Shiki Theater [Summer]" opens, notice that the way of calling the rehearsal has been changed is posted.


Mannequins and utensils are stored in shelves tightly.


The tools are put in the shelf properly organized. Various hair irons are also available.




Hair accessories are also Mr. Kayama 's area, so there were lots of glittering things on the desk.


This is an employee's office. Hanging from the ceiling is a strap of a fluorescent light, seems to be trying to conserve electricity by partially adjusting the lighting rather than the entire floor. Because the electricity is gone in areas where no one is present, I understand well.


It seems that efforts towards eco is thoroughly carried out throughout the hotel. Outlets are also colored differently from what you should leave as it should go out on the way home.



There was a room with various functions in a big building, and I was surprised again that all of them are functioning for theater. Every staff member was seriously working on the work, and theater felt that everyday long-run performance was realized, as the technical staff and the management staff were united as well as the actors.
