  Shaun Luker - To Whom it May Concern
  Famous & Divine is a Bristol-based company which creates site-specific events incorporating theatre, performance and dance. We encountered Shaun Luker as a result of having lost our Lighting Operator a few days before opening with our latest piece, Divine Nights, at the Bierkeller in Bristol. Having found Shaun’s name and CV via StageJobsPro I contacted him and offered him a modest fee for three performances, a Dress Rehearsal and a Technical Rehearsal. Having accepted, Shaun immediately offered to help with the rigging and plotting of the piece for no extra fee.
  Shaun was a huge asset to the production from the moment that he arrived for work with us. He demonstrated utter commitment to the project, was thoroughly prepared and organised throughout and, even in the more difficult moments, he maintained a level head and sought – at every opportunity – to solve problems as they arose. He quickly became a key member of the production team as someone that could be relied upon to complete any job professionally, effectively and efficiently.
  Beside his considerable skills as a lighting technician and operator, Shaun demonstrated a clear understanding of working as part of an ensemble. He recognised the challenges of creating Divine Nights in a space that was ill-equipped for theatre and he worked with the Lighting Designer, Sound Designer, and the two directors, taking care to understand the ‘vision’ of the team and to contribute solidly to that vision. During the run Shaun was consistently the first to arrive at the venue and one of the last to leave. He supported the project not only through his work but also through his obvious enthusiasm and engagement throughout the run.
  We are very much looking forward to working with Shaun again and we are delighted to recommend him as an excellent candidate for work in the field of technical theatre.
  Yours faithfully
