PHOENIX RISE - RISING THEATRE UPGRADE
Wed, 7 Jan 2009, 10:33 amThe Phoenix Theatre upgrade is going well, expertly being carried out by David Ashton & his offsider Steve the Techie, from 'All Things Theatre' - as well as a couple of other Theatre techies - who are rather shy & choose to remain as anonymice!
With David's experience & his empirical skills & knowledge. We have gained the installing of a Trust Grid, to dead hang Light battens, Legs, borders, Cyc & Tab Tracking. {To over come the Archy tech leaving a ceiling over the stage - Unfortunately we can't have even a creative accident & design and drop a large stage weight to fall through the ceiling, so it would have to be removed. As there is a 20 odd foot roof void available as as a fly space above it. Because the 'Daffodil Man' has used the space to accommodate the Air Con units & this Archy tech even built a floor with a gyp rocked room to house them, above the stage ceiling - What a 'Wally'!}
Also David is fitting up 2 FOH Light bars & 2 Light battens over head on the stage. Along with 50+ Patch Box, which will give at least 10 Patch Circuits per light Bar & Batten.
Which also gives the opportunity to expand the patch system, to accommodate 'Dip Traps' on the stage, latter on!
There will also be a 4 way 'Talk Back' & SM control unit to be fitted up, as well as Audio equipment. Latter David will be making up the acoustic drapes 7& auto Pole system.
However ever if any theatre techies have nothing better to do, we will be there at the theatre, [Cnr Rockingham Rd & Carrington St Hamilton Hill - just turn left at Fremantle] from 10AM today. If you wish to lend a hand, you will be most welcome.
Everything always happens as once, as I'm moving house to Embleton over the next couple of week busy busy!
'PHANTOM OF THE PHOENIX'
Thu, 8 Jan 2009, 12:23 pmThanks Peter - I'll have to find another Theatre over there to haunt?
So if anyone is in the need of a clapped out old Techie - let me know.
I can just about feebly do most things, conducive to one who is invalid! Except I draw the demarcation line at window cleaning!
I'll miss Phoenix, although I'll be still there, but in spirit only - which could always add to our 'theatre ghost' myths - though I still can't find my Purple Tights or Skull Ring Thing any where?
I'll try & make up a 'Ghost Light' before I fall off the perch! - To ensure I don't go 'A over kettle' - when the space is black!
