A Parkour Dance Frame Prop That Brings STEAM to Life!

When Prodigal Theatre and The Urban Playground troupe needed a bold, dynamic structure for their latest production, STEAM, we jumped at the chance to create something that could take the heat, the movement, and the impact—all while looking seriously cool.
The result? A custom-built parkour dance frame prop, designed to look like a steam train, crafted to be as functional as it is theatrical.
Designed for Movement, Built for Impact
This wasn’t just about creating a prop—it was about engineering a playground for high-energy, gravity-defying performances.
Constructed from tube and clamp – Ensuring the structure was strong, stable, and able to handle the wildest parkour stunts.
Welded to perfection – So performers could climb, leap, swing, and vault with total confidence.
Styled like a steam train – A perfect blend of industrial aesthetics and raw functionality to bring the STEAM production to life.
