Theatre Lighting Course
Mon, 21 Jan 2002, 05:42 pmBeing from a Country Repertory Club in Kalgoorlie
I would like (if I may) to say would love for our Rep Club Members to be able to come to one of these courses.
If it were to be in the form of a weekend workshop on say a Saturday for instance, I think you would find that those of us "Country Clubs" would be able to support something like this more easily than one that is run during the week nights over a course of weeks.
I would like to see it included in the workshops that have been suggested for the June Long Weekend this year.
As someone who has both acted and directed shows Lighting is pretty important to the show -n lets face it if we don't have someone light us we
really don't have a show, as no-one can see us on stage.
At the Goldfields Repertory Club (In Kalgoorlie) we basically rely on one person to create our lighting sequences for us. I don't know what other clubs are like, but we do tend to loose a lot of talented people to the City. to be able to be involved in a weekend workshop would give our club the opportunity of having more of a chance to involve more members in this side of productions.
I think that it is a great idea for a workshop/course!
cheers

Why don't you talk to the ITA about the possibility of organising someone to come up to Kalgoorlie to run a theatre lighting course/workshop (maybe over a weekend) for all your interested members.
The ITA has organised workshops in country towns in the past.
It would probably help if sponsorship (eg Country Arts) could be organised to help defray expenses.
Or maybe someone who's up on theatre lighting & has plenty of free time on their hands would go up to Kalgoorlie to run a workshop for you in return for their fare plus board & lodging for a weekend or even a week or two.
Just a couple of thoughts!
