STAGE

Advantages and disadvantages of indoor and outdoor event stages

What is theater? Types of stages today

A stage is a place where performances such as plays, musicals and other forms of performance take place. The stage must meet sufficient width, height, safety and other features and utilities to support the performance. Usually stages will be divided into two types: outdoor stages and indoor stages.

Outdoor stage

Structure: outdoor stages often use truss frames to hang equipment such as sound, lighting, speakers, etc. Besides, to minimize the impact of weather, people often install additional types of roofs. Covers such as space tents, mobile tents, round umbrellas, etc.

Advantages: easier to design and install the stage, no need to worry about ceiling size, creating a large, airy space.

Disadvantages: must carefully calculate and regularly check weather issues to ensure no rain or storms. Besides, because the outdoor space is more airy and wider, the equipment is also selected and considered to promote proper and full functionality.

Indoor stage

Structure: indoor stages are often set up in halls, convention centers, shopping centers, fair tents, etc. The height of the stage is determined by the height of the ceiling.

Advantages: protects people, goods, and equipment from external factors such as weather, sun, rain, wind, etc. Ensures aesthetic and safety issues.

Disadvantages: limited organizational space in the lobby, limited number of participants. Installing electrical wiring, sound and lighting systems is more complicated.

Points to note when setting up outdoor and indoor stages

Outdoor stage

Weather: carefully check the weather to ensure weather impacts do not affect the equipment, do not cause interruption or cancellation of the program.

Sound: There are 2 sound issues to keep in mind when setting up an outdoor event stage. First is the issue of preserving equipment, it is necessary to install a solid truss frame system, so that the hanging of the sound truss is more secure, and there are plans to preserve the equipment from the weather. Besides, it is necessary to carefully manage the noise issue so that the sound of the event is not affected and does not cause noise pollution to surrounding areas.

Lighting: need to select lighting equipment when setting up an outdoor stage, especially during the day. Equipment needs to be bright enough and functional enough to operate during the day without affecting the image quality and overall aesthetics of the stage.

Landscape and space: stage design may be more or less affected, equipment and decoration may be more limited than indoor stage design and construction.

Security: for outdoor event stages, it is necessary to arrange more security personnel to ensure that the event is not violated or vandalized by unrelated people.

Cost: The cost of setting up an outdoor event stage will be higher than that of an indoor event because it must add a sound system, larger lighting capabilities, and equipment protection measures.

Facilities: amenities such as resting areas, sun protection, dining areas, and toilets also need to be taken care of and arranged properly.

Indoor stage

Size and space: need to carefully measure the space size, ensuring the appropriate stage size. Carefully check the walkway to ensure it does not obstruct movement.

Sound and light: choose appropriate sound, light, and smoke equipment. Lighting equipment that is too loud can cause glare and heat the space. The sound of the indoor stage needs to be just enough, without echo. Choose the right smoke machine and release enough smoke so as not to cause discomfort or overwhelm attendees.

Staging and decoration: design needs to be consistent with the theme, using safe, non-flammable materials.

Electrical system: check the compatibility between the electrical system and the equipment to be installed. Electrical equipment needs to be neatly arranged, and wires must be fixed so as not to cause entanglement or tripping when participants move.

Regulations: usually halls will have their own regulations and rules that organizers and participants will have to comply with.

Traffic: traffic issues before and after the event also need to be considered, to avoid affecting the transportation of equipment into the lobby. In addition, traffic issues before and after the event should also be thoroughly understood, to avoid causing traffic jams because of the event, and avoiding bad reputation for the organizer.
