Technical Theatre Work
Tue, 6 Feb 2001, 02:37 pmHello there
I am close to a 17 years old studant and have done almost to 2 years of work in the theatre at my school, not only have i worked on school functions which include running school assemblys, various play and performances, music concerts and an HSC exam, but also a number of dance schools and academys, musicals and dramatic performances.
My main training has been towards lighting operation and the electrics side of the theatre at the school, but I have also go my hands into Flying, stage management and a little sound work.
What i'm really looking for is career advise and work for the future. If anyone could offer their opinion or advise i'd be very grateful.
i'm quite keen, and dont mind getting my hands dirty. I'm also interested in getting my skills up even further and dont mind working in my school holidays, anyone willing to offer a part time/ full time job in the Sydney metro area as an experience for me, i'd jump at the chance.
If you can offer any help, advise or want more information about me, please email me at: cpooge@hotmail.com

Hi all,
Just to let you know - I'm at WAAPA. Here you can specialise into one area which is great. I'm doing lighting and I know the other guys in sound or stage management ect - are also working hard. Jcu in qld is also a good course but it doesn't really allow you specilise in any area till third year ( I started to do the degree but I'm now deferred and in WA) From what I know USQ (also in QLD) really puts the emphasis on stage management thus not really allowwing you to specialise...
hope this helps,
