About me
I am a freelance production electrician, and a 2015 graduate from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, with a BA in Production Technology and Management.I feel my personal strengths are my organisation, self-discipline and adaptability. I have continued to develop skills in theatrical stage lighting, sound engineering, AV technology, and stage management over the last three years of professional experiences.
Additional skills:
My specialism is theatrical stage lighting. As such I have developed my abilities through producing the lighting design for a stage play and assisting other professional lighting designers in a variety of mediums including television, ballet and opera.
I have a variety of manual electrical skills including rigging, focusing, wiring and soldering for a wide range of production equipment from Strand fixtures to intricate Surelight wiring. I also have programming experience with MA 1, MA 2 and the ETC Ion, Geo and Nomad. In terms of practical show skills I am confident with follow spotting, board operating and live show support (e.g. gel changes).
Outside of my specialism I have developed skills in sound engineering in live performance in the set up and operating of analogue sound desks with mics, instruments and foldback, as well as AV skills in using projection through QLab. I also have stage management skills in propping and running a show, including generating and archiving show specific paperwork.
