Hi All,

I am looking for somewhere in Perth that supplies scaffolding and/or rigging.

I require a scaffolding platform for the set of Working, at Roleystone Theatre in May.

The cheaper the better.

Anyone who can help, please contact Kristen on 0408920954.

Hi Jerome

I just found your site and will I'm sure become a regular visitor
I currently deliver Entertainment Industry VET in school (NSW) and am a new member of my current school .

I recently retrained as a teacher from the entertainment industry and am now responsible for the lighting and sound equipment of the school.
Quite frankly, it's a disaster.

Our TLS drama space I visited and took out of service (by removing the lights) because there was no safety wire on any light, many untagged lights, some light labelled dangerous and the the most serious was 50mm PVC pipe that supported the lights.

I am currently ordering safety wire, getting the lights fixed and tagged. I require information about the 50mm lighting bar. I have always used 50mm aluminium pipe for lighting so that the lights can clamp easily over the bar. There is a section in the school hall though that I am concerned with. There in 50mm square tubing the is the main FOH bar. I am concerned that this is not safe (because lights could pop off).

Can you use square bar? If pipe is used, is there a magic formula?

Can you help me?

Thanking you

John Maxwell
