ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at how to make a simple statement before a session actually begins. It presents ideas for dressing doorways, creating tunnels or passageways and how to use a gazebo to quickly create an impression of excitement, mystery or intrigue. Suspending something above the doorway or putting a notice on the door are excellent ways of indicating that something different is going to happen. A tunnel can be used as the entrance to the room and is in a sense simply an extended version of the doorway. What a tunnel does is delay the moment of entry into the space, which invests whatever is to come with a little bit of intrigue and additional interest. Putting up a gazebo is a quick, easy and cheap way of creating a basic structure for an entrance. A tip for making a gazebo quicker to erect is to colour-code the lengths of aluminium when it is first put up with paint.
