Two days working as a lighting crew: handle the kit safely, take a brief, light three scenes and wrap like a professional.
Crew ready is two practical days on the Granary main stage, led by a working gaffer, for people who want to be useful on their first day as a lighting trainee. You'll rig, shape and focus lights, take a brief as a team, light an interview, a night interior and a coloured cove shot, and strike the set to a professional standard.
It builds on What does a gaffer do?, which is included as pre-work. It isn't an electrical qualification: all power work is done or directly supervised by the gaffer.
Crew ready runs in small groups at the barn. Dates, the price and the tutor go to the waiting list before anyone else.
Joining commits you to nothing.
One email when dates are announced. No obligation.
We'll email you when dates are announced and about nothing else. Unsubscribe from that email at any time. Privacy notice.
We can't promise that, and you should be wary of anyone who does. The last session covers crew CVs, trainee schemes and how daily work is booked.
No, but you need to finish What does a gaffer do? before day one.
