1. Introduction
I will be working on a contemporary dance show which
will be held over 2 nights at Arley Hall and Gardens with
an audience capacity of 100 people per night. The show
its self is titled Amal Gramation and the concept of the
dance show is a professional, site specific dance event
which showcases the variety of work created by A-level
dancers here at Priestley College.
My specific role
My specific job role for this production is a Lighting Technician. This will involve rigging the
lights in the venue and operating the lights during the event and then de-rigging the lights
and returning the equipment.
Potential equipment list
1. Wrench
2. Spanner
3.Booms
4.Lights (dependant on the lighting designer)
5. Gels and gel frames (dependant on the lighting designer)
6. Lighting desk
7. Relevant Cables (13 amp plugs, 15 amp plugs, DMX cables etc.)

What am I doing
As a lighting technician I am responsible for preparing the lights. This will entail making sure
they work, troubleshoot them if they don’t and the fix any problems. I will be responsible
for rigging the lights and focusing the lights. This will involve changing the beam angle with
barn doors and putting gels in the lights. Also I will be responsible for operating the lights on
a lighting desk so I will be responsible to patch the desk as well.
