Gravity Rigs in Conversation

US Rig design & performance systems for global artists      04/09/26

Earlier this year Show File Podcast ran a Live event at Factory Reset (London) in collaboration with Strongroom. Here we have. Alex and Matt from Gravity Rigs discussing rig design, and how they create performance systems for some of the worlds biggest touring artists. In the conversation they reflect on and reference their work with The Chemical Brothers, Burna Boy, Overmono, Bicep and many others.

They released their 'Carry On' range of rigs earlier this year which you can see here.

The video is presented and produced by Tom Cane, Founder & Music Director from 'A Work In Progress'. Here are some of the topics... 

1. Understanding Performance Systems: A Holistic Approach to Live Shows
2. Capturing Requirements: Defining Vision, Budget, and Simplicity
3. Drawing Out Your Rig: From Napkin Sketch to Fault Finding
4. Creative Limitations: How R&D and Budget Drive Innovation
5. Ensuring Reliability: The Importance of Soak Tests and Documentation
6. Case Studies: Designing Fly Rigs for Global Touring Artists
7. Efficient Rig Solutions and the Art of Project Management
