Profile

I am an enthusiastic and out-going individual, who will always be happy to work within a team. I also have a keen eye for detail, and like everything up to its highest possible standard. My knowledge is mainly based around Lighting; however I am always happy to learn something new.  I have a wide understanding of the operation of a Theatre/Venue and many other valuable skills which would benefit any Theatre or Company where I would be employed. I will always go out of my way to help others, doing anything I can to ease their workload and mine. I am committed to developing my skills further and am always looking for a challenging position within a friendly working environment.

My Skills

The skills I have gathered within the Lighting Industry are very useful to me. The Cambridge Corn Exchange taught me a great deal, and gave me so many opportunities to shine in the field I have chosen. From being able to competently operate The Strand 530i Lighting Board during a show, to going through the full lighting process i.e. Design, Rig, Focus, Patch, Program, and my overall skills are not to be faulted. I have also learnt to plot and operate a Wholehog II Console. I am familiar with other lighting desks including Avolites & Zero88, and I am a skilled follow spotter. I am very enthusiastic about my career, and have past experience in other positions, such as managing staff and extensive organisational and people skills. My ability to work within a team has been clearly proved on the Corn Exchange, New Theatre and Bristol Hippodrome crews. I am always happy to offer help to others, however big or small the task is.

Certificates

Stage Electrics Safety Services Training on Working at Height

On this course I learnt about the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, Work at Height Regulations 2005, Understanding employer and employee responsibilities, Safe operational procedures and finally Understanding the requirement for accident prevention and control.

Stage Electrics Training

On this course of Strand 500 Series Desk Programming I learnt all you would need to know about the Lighting Board. The course began with switching it on and archiving then onto Macros and programming moving lights. The course was extremely useful and taught me many useful functions and controls on the desk. It also further improved my confidence in programming.

Avolites Pearl Training

I have also been to Avolites and been trained as a beginner on their Pearl desk. It is slightly different to the Strand in that it is more for moving lights. The training was very beneficial and it was useful to see how another desk worked. The course also took you through programming/plotting and operating in show time.
