During the summer programs at TASIS Switzerland there are a series of Cultural Events which feature a variety of music, dance, singing, and acting. They are to culturally enhance the summer program experience for the students who are aged 4 - 18.
The cultural events feature a setup period of around an hour followed by a dress rehearsal and any notes, then a performance to the students and other staff members. The setup includes coordinating with the maintenance team to set-up the space. I worked with my team of four to set up the masking, lighting, and sound equipment. Before each event a planning meeting is held to ensure a fast setup and take down as the space must be cleared before the next day.
We work with a range of wireless equipment for sound along with an analogue Behringer Xenyx 2442 console. Lighting consits of a range of parcans, fresnels, profiles, LED par cans and Martin Mac moving lights. All of the par cans, profiles and fresnels are mounted on moveable Manfrotto tripods and prepared before each performance to ensure the most efficient use of time.
