Stage Needs
Stage Dimensions : Approximately - 12ft by 12ft
The floor of the stage should be hard and not hollow - preferably. Since the artists perform in a sitting posture, one could use a thin carpet to spread on the hard stage floor or a thick carpet if it is a hollow stage floor. Too soft and spongy materials should be avoided. The carpet should be covered preferably by a pure white sheet neatly tucked in the ends. Raisers might be needed for the stage to be above the eye level of the audience, making it possible for the entire audience to see the artists and instruments clearly, as it is a visual art as well as audio.
