Under the circumstances, portable rostrums may be the way to go! These can be utalised later, if you do manage to get your own space & easier to store?

If you build a folding hinged wooden or steel framed base [legs] with drop on plywood floor plates [tops]. It?s good to keep them to standard size boards 8 [2400] x 4 [1200] available from the suppliers [this will reduce having to cut them to the size]. You can get stagecraft info from the library or the net, which will show you various way to build these for the stage.

Work out the height you will need, remembering that you will have to match up to standard treads [steps]. The base frames are normally of a gate leg construction, however there are many innovative modular frames used, that can be made into different heights. It may be better to find a good ?Choppy? or someone experienced with DYI &/or construction to do this, as safety is the biggest factor!
