The Stage Technologies system, which features positioning chain hoists and wire winches working together from the same console, also includes BigTow winches, custom truss, AU:tour cabinets, and PC Wing control desks.
Stage Technologies director of rentals services, Ted Moore, said, "We're very happy to once again provide the overhead automation for P!nk's show. Our kit is very 'tour-able' in that it's quick to assemble for extended, multi-date gigs like The Truth About Love. This is our third tour with P!nk and we look forward to working with her team both on her US tour and then here in the UK and Europe later in the spring."
Fans of P!nk know that the show, directed by Baz Halpin, incorporates aerial performance during a number of tracks, including Glitter in the Air in which the star is dipped into a small pool of water onstage, before being drawn up again for acrobatics involving an aerial hammock. Whereas previously a winch above the water lowered the singer, for The Truth about Love tour Stage Technologies has crafted a bespoke track and truss to match the radius of the curved stage, which carries the star downstage to the pool.
Look out for LSI's On Tour feature on P!nk's latest tour in the April issue.
