About me
My work of late is mainly split between lighting and performer rigging. I have a track record of working as HOD setting up the lighting department for a tour/west end sit down. Earlier in the year I set up "Bat out of Hell," due to the nature of the immense set and show deck unsuitable for MEWP I devised a safe system of work using rope access which worked successfully for installation and maintenance of hard to reach moving lights and LED tape! Other duties involved lots of fun pyro, wireless practicals and organising social events for all backstage departments.Recently I have been working again with Sadler Wells for their touring department as a touring production manager for the world premiere of Dystopian Dream by Nitin Sawhney in Luxembourg. The show had a lot of aerial dance which I designed and fabricated the flying systems for.
Additional Skills
Experienced at mid scale production management including international freighting and logistics.I am comfortable at working at height, difficult access and industrial rescue. I have experience of rigging for circus/aerial artists as well as designing and installing performer flying equipment.
Experienced in manufacturing for entertainment. Laser cutting parts, machined parts, light fabrication, aluminium extrusions and surface finishing.
Skilled wireman, knowledge of specifying various industrial connectors, cable types and termination methods.
Experienced in wire rope termination methods and fibre splicing (tech 12 / double braid/ 3ply etc)
