Look out for Harlequin at IADMS this week


The 20th Annual Meeting of the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science (IADMS) convenes at the Birmingham Hippodrome 28-30 October and we can expect to hear some news of an important announcement from British Harlequin over the course of the next few days. If you are attending the conference please make sure you visit the Harlequin stand at some point.

Hip to be square for Cascade



With just one week to produce the stage flooring and backdrop for the Mark Ronson & The Business International tour, exceptionally speedy delivery of Harlequin Cascade flooring was crucial. Better known as a popular dance floor, white Harlequin Cascade was selected by Stage and Event scenery design specialists Back2front as a key element in the set designed for the tour. Jayne of Back2front picks up the story. “Using Harlequin Cascade flooring, and before scenic painting could begin, the team first mapped out the grid which proved to be a testing of mathematical wits, especially working 16th size for the backdrop!  “The end result is very striking. Quite often the simpler designs are the best ! “
