Teach your team to run the stage safely.
Hands-on training at your venue, on the equipment your team actually uses. Built for school staff, student tech crews, volunteers, and venue employees.
Training topics.
Pick one topic or combine several into a day. Every session is adjusted to your equipment and your group's experience.
Fly System Operation
Safe operation of counterweight systems: loading and unloading arbors, using the locking rail, setting trim, and knowing when to stop and call for help.
Motorized Battens & Hoists
Operating motorized battens and chain hoists, using the controls, and the daily checks to do before every use.
Lighting Console Basics
Patching, recording cues, and running a show on your console, plus hanging and focusing fixtures safely.
Audio for Performances
Setting up microphones, running a sound check, and mixing a show without feedback.
Stage Safety Essentials
Working at height, ladders and lifts, cable management, fire curtain awareness, and safe crew communication.
Your Venue, Your Systems
A walk-through built around your own systems, for new staff or a new technical director.
On site, hands on, on your schedule.
Sessions run at your venue so your team learns on the equipment they'll actually use. We keep groups small enough that everyone gets time on the rail, the console, or the board.
Training pairs well with an annual rigging system inspection: we inspect the system, then show your team how to operate it correctly.
