Research on new techniques, processes and alternative stages.
Revolving stages have come along way since they were first invented in Japan. We now have the technology to have stages that not only revolve but ones with integrated lifts. Below is a drawing to show how versatile a stage can become when a revolve or lift or both is introduced to a stage.

This revolve encircles a hydraulically driven scissor lift.
The revolve is driven by two friction-drive motors.

Another example of how revolving stages have advanced is shown in this short video. In the video there is a double revolve - an inner and an outer. Something like this would greatly add to a theatre production.
