Hi Everyone

Thanks for taking a look at my blog.

I am an up and coming Stage Technician and Lighting Designer. I also have experience in Sound and Set Design as well as Special Effects.

The goal of this blog is to showcase some of my work, and to hopefully gain interest in my designs. Please feel free to comment as suggestions are always welcome.

I also hope to keep a running log of my work via some of the posts. This is to not only emphasize my growth in the industry, but also to give me something to reflect upon to try and improve my self.

Thanks Again

Operas open tonight!

Hey guys

  I have been pretty busy the last couple weeks. Since my last post I worked the Tour Tech East Ltd. Annual After Xmas Party, did school work, teched the Dal Music Opera Workshop, and I have some work coming up with IATSE 680 as well as Neptune Theatre.

  The Tour Tech party was awesome this year. The wonderful people at Tour Tech East Ltd. host this (invitation only) event to raise funds for the Aids Coalition of Nova Scotia. The staff do a great job of setting up their warehouse space, and in the three years I have participated, it always gets better and better. Tour Tech brings a variety of entertainers to the stage. This year Sweet (Ballroom Blitz) headlined on the main stage, with various performers opening, including many local performers (Atlantic Cirque and Three Sheet just to name a couple). This year I not only did I aid in setup, I participated in a running crew capacity as production assistant.

  Got some update photos of my Cabriole Leg. After tracing my design onto a solid block of wood, I then cut out the pattern with a band saw, and this is what I ended up with.






Still a lot of sanding and shaping to do, but it's getting there.

  And now to plug the show I am working on!
  The Dalhousie Music Department's Opera Work Shop has been a great introduction to opera (at least for me). Directed and designed by Brent Krysa, Conducted by Adam Burnette, with a Lighting Design by Jeremy Powell it honestly looks great, I am apart of the running crew and assisted  in the construction of the set pieces, and the focusing, hanging of the lighting fixtures. And finally, after a lot of prep, cutting it close to deadlines, and looming weather, we have a show. Tonight Dalhousie Music Department presents Comedy on the Bridge and Dido and Aeneas. Show opens tonight, in The Sir James Dunn Theatre at 7:30 and runs at that time tonight, Friday and Saturday. There will be a Sunday Matinée at 2:30, which will be our last performance. For more information check out the Dalhousie Music Department's Website. Now just because you checked out my Blog I have some pictures of the Operas.





Thanks for having a look, hope to see you at the show!
