Q calling Where, When, Who, What & Why?

We all make assumptions :) The comments that you make leads me to a thought: I wonder what the percentage is in terms of untrained techies not knowing how to cue, vs. trained ones. I did a lot of tech training, from all roles while at uni. I was also the main SM, and one of the few tech people in the class (one of two lx people as well). I know I'm lazy when it's just me, but when I'm in charge of other people, I'm very organised and cue properly. When starting out doing tech, I met a lot of people who had either begun in the industry by chance (usually as a roadie) and while they didn't have training, they certainly knew what they were doing. Others I've met have had the training, but sometimes, not the forethought or consideration to work with other people in a professional way. It seems we may be also talking across each other: is there a distinction to be made between those doing tech within the amateur scene, and those doing it in the professional scene. Is there much of a difference, given that tech is tech whether in am or pro? Fun puppet patterns to make at home! Puppets to buy at Puppets in Melbourne
