COURSE DESCRIPTION

An introduction to theatre tech and principles to maximize your 1 Day Tech time.

Also ideal for rookie techies who would like to learn words and phrases that you never get taught, tips and tricks that make your life easier or who want to experiment with design and programming instead of just operating.

YOUR COURSE LEADER

Jessica Parritt has been a professional technician for over a decade. She started her career in theatre as a child actor and went on to study acting, directing, writing, design and tech. If there exists a job in theatre, Jessica has probably worn the hat at one point or another, although she primarily works as a technician and lighting designer now she still assists in clowning and directing workshops, leads on teaching people many different tech skills and is always eager to help people with their work, from her work as a technician to talking through Ideas and how to implement them in theatre. Her varied background allows her to bridge the gap between performer, designer and operator to help productions come together as smoothly and effectively as possible.
