Stage Manager / Technician / Film Crew Job Wanted
Thu, 13 Oct 2005, 04:43 amHello everyone!
I am from the UK and will be coming to Australia in January / February 2006 for a year, on a working holiday visa.
I work in film and theatre and would really like to do more while I'm in Oz - want to travel but don't want to give up film & theatre!
Have worked in theatre as Stage manager / DSM / ASM / Lighting designer + operator / Sound designer + operator / AV operator / Carpenter / general technician
Work in film includes 1st AD / Script Supervisor / Production Assistant / Production Co-ordinator / Producer
Have also produced + directed, been musical director / choreographer for amateur theatre and have various roles on student films.
At the moment I enjoy all aspects of production and would be happy to work in any of the above areas. I've done touring and been both visiting and in-house staff.
Please email me if you have any work which might be suitable or if you'd like to know more. Email address is sarah_gooda@hotmail.com

Re: Stage Manager / Technician / Film Crew Job Wanted
Wherever the work is ! Don't have any definate plans as I'd like to see several different places. Schedule will depend on work - realise it's a pretty big country (especially compared to this tiny island im on right now) but willing to go anywhere.

Re: Stage Manager / Technician / Film Crew Job Wanted
Actually, it's probably a better idea to work out where you're going first. Melbourne has a lot of fringe (ie. profit share) work, but Sydney has more paid work (but there's more people there trying to get it). I don't know what the other cities are like.
You should try Arts Hub UK and AUS (Arts Hub run two sites, and they can transfer your membership to AUS when you come over), as they post most of the theatre jobs on their sites. www.artshub.co.uk, www.artshub.com.au.
It's hard trying to get work even if you leave in Aus, so knowing where you will be when you come will help - there are people around the country more than willing to take up a good techie, but they probably won't be interested for long if you can't say where you'll be.
Robyn Good, from Showtech (a poster on this site) is always keen to find some techies, so perhaps try contacting her.

Re: Stage Manager / Technician / Film Crew Job Wanted
Yep, I realise that. But i also don't want to say i'll be in one city and then miss all the work elsewhere. I really am prepared to go wherever there is work. I'll still have to find accommodation etc wherever I go so it makes no odds to me where I am.
WIll try to find Robyn's details on here though, thanks for the tip!

Hi sarah,
Yes its Robyn from Showtech.
If you're willing to be a loader/general technician, please feel free to pop in when you get to Australia.
You should also try the local crewing companies such as gig power in melbourne, lock and load in sydney and melbourne, all access crewing in brisbane, power crewing in adelaide.
keep in mind most of the work is only casual work, so you may need to go to a few companies to get enough work to survive.
there are also the major festival organisations in each state that may be able to help.
cheers
