Hi!

I’m working on a theatre assignment where I need to talk about set design.

Can someone tell me what these are called in proper theatre terminology?

A kind of a “treadmill” built into the stage, often used in concerts and musicals, where actors can really walk, but they are walking on the spot

areas of the stage that can come up from the pit (say, if an entrance of a character requires them to appear out of the ground, they would enter by standing on the “…”)

Thanks!
