Platform Positions #warwick 15

After starting with a traditional cottage, you’d think that they could have done better than a platform on a scissor lift. It doesn’t exactly look in keeping with the surroundings, yet it was perfectly hidden at the beginning of the show. I wonder if they weren’t permitted to use a regular platform with a ladder because of COVID regulations. Perhaps the platform needs to be adjusted for different heights in windier conditions, but you could just build another level into the tower. Perhaps they were concerned for the performer’s health, and it would be a quick way to get them back down in an emergency. Or maybe the whole show was new and it was a work in progress. It would certainly be difficult to carry a bird while climbing up a ladder, though they could have trained it to fly from one performer to the other beforehand. For today’s show though, the birds seem to be coping well.
