Here we go again, setting up for “We Will Rock You”. #theatre #musicals #TechnicalTheatre #TodaysOffice
Outdoor show today but no worries, they told me it would only be one lead. #Theatre #TechnicalTheatre #Audio

For context, depending on the scale of the show and whether I’m calling all departments or just driving a single one, I’ll use between four and ten colours.

There’s usually about
20 scenes
40 songs / playoffs
500 cues
300 standbys
10 notes to self
6 don’t fuck this up
4 keys / colour codes

Photos below for context - this is a partially marked up book from when we did Shrek in 2019, which I called but also remembered to photograph 😂 (for once)

A year ago today we had a dawn blessing with Te Arawa for SHMC, in preparation for the venue being opened to audience for the 2022 Aria’s grand finale.

Today the Aria’s grand finale is once again in the venue.

A bunch of things have gotten better.
Some worse.
Many have stayed the same
(Not me, I left)

So I thought a wee thread while I’ve got 45 minutes might be quite nice. Or at least interesting 😂

It’s 21:00 and I’m not off work until 01:30 so let’s talk about a part of theatre lighting that’s much maligned but kind of interesting, and hasn’t changed much in 100+ years! It’s time for Gel Cutting! #technicaltheatre
At the Sydney Conservatorium today for a meeting about lighting design, so here’s a throwback from a previous production I was Head Electrician on #theatre #technicaltheatre #theatrelighting
