Theatrical divices to make Alice fall down the rabbit hole?

I need some theatrical divices that make Alice appear to be falling down the rabbit hole in %26quot;Alice in Wonderland%26quot;. The more abstract and creative the better!

I believe that was done once already, by the Master of illusionists! The man who wrote the book.

you could have a trap door on stage for her to fall in and then close the curtains for a lil %26#039;break%26#039; like they do on tvs for commercial breaks and then when it starts again, have like a black tunnel at the top of the stage and a camouflaged matress (painted green for the grass) for alice to land on when she comes out the tunnel!
Reply:Do you want to depict the events while she is falling, or just going from up to down?





For the %26quot;while falling,%26quot; get Alice onto a platform perhaps 7%26#039; from the ground. Run a narrow scrim behind her, with rear projection onto it of the passing scenery of the hole. Pull some items up past her on wires, for the items she plucks from the walls. Use a nice fan, if possible, for the wind of her falling.
Reply:You could have a blackout but just have the sounds of her falling down, or if possible, you could have a film on a screen of falling down a hole from her perspective while she%26#039;s still on the stage.


Hope I helped :-)

We had that first part before she fell out on the apron with the curtain closed. We had the mirror on top of the fireplace (the mirror was really just a frame) then when Alice is looking for the white rabbit she had to climb on top of the fire place, and as she was reaching down for the paper she fell through the %26quot;mirror.%26quot; We had her fall on some padding so that it wouldn%26#039;t make a noise that time, then had her sneak behind the curtain (the fireplace in front of where she%26#039;d come in through so that no one would notice) then she%26#039;d go to center stage, sit down, make a loud sound with her hands on the stage so its like she fell right there, then opened the curtains.





Sorry, lots of explaining for a not-so-great illusion.
Reply:When Alice is on stage, have a brown- colored light shine onto the center of the stage. Once she steps into it, you can have stroble lights come on, which really adds a cool effect, and the audience will get that something wierd%26#039;s happening. Have the brown light expand and expand until it%26#039;s not just a small pool of light anymore, but takes up the whole stage. And Alice can be acting like she%26#039;s tumbling around, while really just running and spinning around on stage. The strobe lights will help that look more jerky and awkward.
