Product Information

Harlequin BLOC Stage System

Stockcode:

A new concept in stage construction designed to enable contemporary performance spaces to easily accommodate multiple artistic disciplines, Harlequin BLOC is a high-quality flexible modular stage floor system that allows custom sizing and shaping for all technical requirements.

Premium-grade composite panels are manufactured off-site and then fixed to the stage structure, radically reducing the time required on-site compared to traditional stage building. The bespoke stage deck panels are prefabricated from CAD plans using the latest CNC technology, which enables highly accurate machining of panels to create a flexible modular system with custom features such as traps and technical access points.

The stage construction process can then be finished with any Harlequin performance surface to fit the needs of the venue.

Harlequin BLOC has recently been installed in The State Opera of Prague, one of the three main opera houses in the Czech capital.

In the operational building, two large rooms were equipped as rehearsal spaces: a hall in the basement for theatre and a light, airy room on the first floor for the choir. Having a need for heavy equipment such as large podiums, Harlequin BLOC was the heavy-duty solution to accommodate all uses.

A Harlequin BLOC Specification Sheet and Harlequin BLOC Technical Summary can be found in our ‘downloads’ section.

About us

Established in the UK over 45 years ago, Harlequin is the performance floor of choice for the world’s most prestigious dance and performing arts companies, theatres, schools, production companies and global events. 

Harlequin’s reputation is founded upon the design, manufacture and supply of a range of high quality portable and permanent sprung and vinyl performance floors specified by the world’s leading venues - from the Royal Opera House to the New York City Ballet, the Paris Opera Ballet to the Royal New Zealand Ballet.
 
Harlequin has developed its own portable and permanent sprung floor systems which have been fully tested in accordance with BS EN 14904:2006 to ensure they help to minimise injury risk to dancers. Harlequin Liberty sprung floor panels are available in two versions for either permanent or portable installation and provide the ideal sprung floor for a dance studio, rehearsal room or theatre stage. The portable panels are intended for touring companies or venues that occasionally need a sprung floor. Harlequin also offers a hire service - within minutes, a hard subfloor can be turned into a temporary floating sprung floor suitable for all types of dance from classical ballet to street, jazz and tap
Harlequin also offers a range of floors suitable for exhibition and display use, including Harlequin Hi-Shine, a unique glossy floor designed to give a breathtaking 'wet-look' finish to catwalks, product launches, award ceremonies, TV sets and much more.
 
Harlequin is the global leader in its field with offices in Europe, the Americas and Asia Pacific.

Harlequin’s head-office is based in the UK but other branches are located in the USA, Europe, Australia and Hong Kong.

Honestly, the service from and first experience with Harlequin couldn't have been better... I left buying a Tap & Turn board for my wife pretty late on the run-up to Christmas. The board arrived quickly, however, there was a slight flaw in the surface... and my email to them was responded to within a matter of an hour with a replacement on its way to ensure the gift was under the Christmas tree. Just brilliant service and lovely people to deal with. Thank you so much!

I am very happy with the Harlequin floors in the building. . There are no complaints from the dancers at all…trust me, if there were any problems, I would know about it. For touring I have used Harlequin floors in the past and I am about to buy some more...the dancers and the rehearsal director won’t allow me to buy anything else!
