About me
Lighting Technician, Stage Technician, Follow Spot Operator, AV Operator.- Available for full time work from October 2017 -
Lighting and Stage Management are the two disciplines I am strongest in, however I still have a strong understanding of stagecraft skills that are vital to working in theatre.
I studied technical theatre for 4 years and have been working in the industry, during and after education, for around 3.
Additional skills:
I have a range of skills that are tailored to each discipline in theatre.
Lighting: I can operate/program ETC ION and Element lighting desks, rig and focus lanterns safely, patch lighting circuits, re-wire plugs, solder and operate follow spots at a professional standard. I also have an understanding of basic electrical theory.
Stage management: I can work easily and efficiently on stage and carry out scene changes with ease as I have lots of experience working as an assistant stage manager and as part of a stage crew. I am also able to work as a deputy stage manager as I have experience in creating a ‘book’ and cueing shows.
Other skills: I have gained other general skills from working in theatre such as FX flying, rigging truss, hemp/counter weight flying, scenery construction/maintenance, moving scenery safely and working as part of a team. I also have a strong understanding on operating AV for shows using Qlab.
Outside of theatre my hobbies include playing a few instruments such as guitar, bass guitar and drums. I can also read music. I find having an understanding of music can be very useful when working in theatre.
I have also held a full UK driving license for over 12 months and own a vehicle.
