The Art of Rigging – Lola’s Daring Display
Lola vs. A Little Lift
Lola’s situation starts simple enough. Legs spread with a bar, arms tied into a column and attached to the ceiling above. Aside from her feet getting tired in heels she would likely be able to stay in that position all day. In my play space, nothing is that simple. With a press of a button the actuator starts to pull. With over 1500 newtons of force pulling it will take her off her feet with hardly any strain. The question remains, will she be able to get free before it’s too late?
