Backstage Planning and Layout
We work closely with architects to develop backstage layouts that satisfy the functional, economic, and cultural demands of the intended user groups.

Our work takes the form of concept diagrams, sketches of proposed layouts, illustrations of critical spaces, and review of the architect’s proposals. FDA works tirelessly to ensure a backstage layout that will be efficient and economical to operate and will provide an appropriate workplace for the artists that will perform there.
We specifically focus on:
- General Backstage Arrangement
- Stage Door
- Dressing Rooms and Performer Support Spaces
- Rehearsal Spaces
- Loading Dock and Receiving Area
- Production and maintenance shops
- Storage spaces
- Backstage circulation and corridors
- Production offices and crew areas
- Musicians’ facilities
