Technical Theatre Workshops at Riverwalk Theatre
Have you been looking to volunteer backstage for a show and wanted to learn more about the various technical roles? Riverwalk Theatre will host tech workshops beginning in July and occurring throughout our 31st season. Many of these workshops will often coincide with the productions in progress, allowing participants hands-on experience in each role!
WORKSHOPS (*all take place at RWT unless noted otherwise):
LIGHTING DESIGN with Cody Skalmowski- (takes place over two dates)
Part 1 - July 13, 4pm-6pm
This course will cover the basics of theater lighting and board operation. We will discuss the purpose of theater lighting and the different types of instruments the lighting designer needs to do a show. Basic board operations will be discussed. Creating and patching a showfile, recording of basic cues, and how to run a show will be covered.
Part 2 - Date in August to be determined, 2pm-4pm
This course will cover much more advanced aspects of board programming. DMX512 cabling and addressing will be explored. Patching advanced fixtures, and how to properly use them will also be shown. This course will vary in complexity based on the knowledge of the students attending.
