....But that's the whole point of design: To get lighting that looks more 
than "ok".  To get lighting that's _exactly_ right, that exists as an 
element of the production, not just "light to get by with."

And, of course, from an industry standpoint, a technician (I'm one of 'em) 
gets paid at a far lower rate than a designer (of which I'm also one), 
because their expected workloads are much different.

Huh? Unless you're designing industrials, stagehands always make more money
than designers, whether overall or on an hourly basis. Take your average
design fee, deduct your expenses from it, then divide the result by the
number of hours spent working on the show, and you'll find that stagehands
wind up doing much better. The only time designers do well is when they
design a show that's a hit and get AWC ("additional weekly compensation")
for years afterward. Ask anyone who's designed on Broadway or for LORT.

I second that. Having just come off two large events where I got a flat rate
design fee (pretty large) but My programmer, M.E., and indeed my associate
who also became an hourly Electrics Head made more than I did. I still ended
up using a wrench and climbing truss, as well as 2 18 hour days in a row.

But in the end I got to stand back and say "I did that" and take pictures
for my portfolio , and have the client say they would call me again.

Subject: Opera Rep update and need a scrim

Hey everybody,

I have been out of touch for a long while getting up to speed at the
new digs in operaland.  Thanks to many of you, it has been going quite
smoothly.  I thank you all that gave bits of advice and war stories.

However......one issue does have me in a bit of a panic.  I need a
black scrim for the summer and I need it yesterday.  I am having
trouble finding one localy (I'm just outside of Denver).  I need a
black scrim 40Lx20ish high.  Odd size, but it is an odd sized theatre.
 Would need it until the 2nd week of August.  I would appreciate any
leads.

Thanks much!

<<Wood floor = maintenance>>

If one doesn't install any free standing power tools, it'll be way easier to
sweep too.

I always prefer to work on wood, for all the reasons previously stated.
However, if my main concern is maintenance, then I would go with epoxy
coated (or other such coating) concrete, and the heck with ease of building,
human comfort, physical safety, and adaptability.

All the shops here have concrete floors... a couple have plywood paint
floors. Everything, and I mean everything, is easier on the paint floors.

Okay... maybe not welding. actually, unless you're welding right against the
floor, even that tends to be easier.

 From personal experience.

One disadvantage of a shop floor made of wood: it tends to warp severely 
when one breaks off a fire sprinkler and drains the entire contents of the 
fire suppression system above the shop (second floor offices, the grid, 
etc.) on to it, not to mention being unable to shut the system off because 
the valve is located in the costume laundry room, which was padlocked 
closed to keep actors from doing personal laundry.

Eric,
   We have what you need.
However we're in Bel Air, Maryland.
Get back to me and let me know if you still need one.
I'll see what I can do to get it released to you.
When would you need it by? and could you come get it?
Or would you want it shipped?

Once on tour with a dance troupe we got to a stage that turned out to 
have a concrete floor.
Without any discussion, and at expense and inconvenience, we immediately 
cancelled the show. Dancers won't ruin their bodies by dancing on that.

If Jeffery's scrim does not work out, I'm sure my rental inventory has 
one about that size, and if you are looking to purchase, I'm sure we can 
work that out too.

Right, speaking a foreign language is totally anti-American.  They  
must be terrorists, send them off to a camp someplace.

Judy,


We used to do that without knowing it.  I started out in this business
as a dancer in '58.  I was with a company whose rehearsal space was a
concrete floor.  Blew my knees out by '61 but we didn't know why ....
then.   But it was too late, I was already addicted to THEATRE  as a
way of life.  I was always interested in the how and why of the tech
part of the equation and that became the way I would find fulfillment
in this incredible thing we call theatre.  Do I miss dance........
everyday of my life, but at 61,  my dance career would have been over
long ago.  As a (IMHO)  skilled and knowledgeable theatre technician,
I still have many years  of exciting and productive work ahead of me.
