Working Christmas


Working Christmas is Arts at the Old Fire Station's Christmas production. Today, was the get in and comprised of getting in the set, rigging and focusing lights and many many fairy lights.

While not a particularly foreign day of work in the theatre, it was a great day working with Nomi Everall, Jude Thorpe and Steve Coe. Set construction involved laying a floor and using a series of tank traps to secure the set which was constructed and created by Nomi off site.

Light rigging was slightly different than usual having to work around the 1000 fairy lights up in the rig and on the set. And while focusing around the fairy lights and chandelier was interesting it was successful. 

The following weeks contained a variety of previews and shows. Each production became more refined through preview week. This show has allowed me to work on improving my skills and familiarity with the ETC Ion and Soundcraft Expression series of control desks. This was also my first hands on experience with the full version of Q Lab.
