Issues with arrangement of artworks. . .

My initial idea of where to locate Parker's Cold Dark Matter was to place it at the forefront of the stage. However, in considering the viewpoint of the audience, those seated front-on would be experiencing a block of vision towards the centre of the stage.

Thus, I would relocate Parker's sculpture to a much higher level; those seated at the circle and/or upper circle would  be able to see it at eye level, then look down to the stage where the projection of the sculptures exploded parts would create shadows on the floor of the stage. I would place a spotlight above the sculpture so the lighting is limited to the stage itself, giving it the impression of an evening setting that Beckett wanted, while allowing the shadows to shine through. Those looking up from the stalls would also be able to see the work, as it would be above the stage itself and within eyesight.
