Workshops/Master classes on the fundamental topics of modern stagecraft have proven to be a valuable tool for instructing members of the
Technical Theatre community in the core technologies of their field.
I provide training seminars on:
 | Basic structural analysis for use on stage and in production. The
presentation of this topic can be targeted toward scenic fabrication, toward
rigging, or both. The goal is to get technical and design professionals
thinking critically about what is happening with the loads and the structures
they encounter in the course of their work backstage and in the shop.
|
| Mechanics and control of stage machines. These seminars introduce the
basic mechanics and control concepts that apply to the variety of motorized
and powered devices that we use in the industry. Examples of these include
deck winches, motorized rigging, hoists, and show automation systems.
|
| Other topics that are available as seminars include: electricity for the
stage, lighting control, production/project management, CAD, and shop math. |
The notes for some previous master classes of these are available
