Important Lessons About the Theatre

Day 5 of the ASEAN Design and Technical Theatre workshop.


One very important lessons I have learnt about being a lighting designer is that when in a new venue, never pretend that you know everything, even when your intentions are good because anything wrong that can happen, will happen. Always ask the technicians for help as they know their equipment the best.


Take this from someone who caused an Ellipsoidal spotlight to fall straight on its nose while being lit because she didn't think before removing the light's counterweight. The thud was the loudest sound I have ever heard.


Thank god the light is still working.
