About me
I have over 25 years experience on a variety of productions in various technical & stage management roles.I have fairly recently returned to the UK theatre scene after an extended period abroad.
In addition to my listed employment credits between 1994 & 2002, I freelanced fairly frequently as a carpenter on various trade shows/rehearsal sets/ get-ins & get-outs. After my stint at the Dome I also did a lot of performer rigging on small scale productions in the UK & Europe.
Since returning, I have also done a few load-ins & load-outs on several shows, including Amelia at the Vaudeville, The Illusionists at the Shaftesbury & the Bat out of Hell get-out at the Dominion.
My main bias is Flys, though I am a fairly decent all rounder & have worked as Stage Crew/ Stage LX & Follow Spot. I also have a fair bit of Props & A.S.M. experience on tour.
I am primarily interested in staying in the London area, though would certainly consider touring again if the opportunity came along.
Additional skills:
Because of my protracted period abroad most of my certifications have lapsed. But I have previously had:- IRATA lvl 1 rope access technician.
Universal MEWPS certification
NYFD, Hazardous materials & bottled gas handling
LFD, Fire Safety Awareness
Fork lift certification
Various first aid, CPR & First Responder courses.
Lodestar Motor School
Etc, etc
I hold a current IPAF, pav ticket
