Hello, I am a 16 year old living in Southern California, and I could really use help. I am planning on either helping direct, or directing a show in a theatre very close to me. The theatre is what some people I know would call, a bare theatre. The theatre is actually an auditorium, and has no lights in the stage at all, like no lights. No DMX lights, front, incandescent lights, spotlights, nothing. They only have work lights up on the ceiling, and I'm not even sure if there's a grid! I am barely getting into all this tech stuff, and so far all I know is what channels, universes, addresses, DMX, etc is. I also know how to use dip switches and similar stuff along those lines. I want to ask for help, before I do anything, or even find out if I can direct/assistant direct there.
Additionally, I attend an arts school near my house, and they have a class called 'Stage Tech and Design'. I am unable to join it not only because my schedule doesn't allow it, but the class is reserved for people who run shows, and work backstage (stage managers, production assistants, etc) I believe. Also, I am looking for some cheaper lights, I found 10 of those cheaper DMX fixtures (http://www.ebay.com/itm/10pcs-86-RG...802221?hash=item58b4e18b6d:g:C-QAAOSwQItUClF7) for pretty cheap, and I know that they have four channels (so ch.1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, etc) and I was wondering if the Chalet Obey 40 would work with these, I was told they will, but I wanted to be sure. I have a lot more questions, but ill continue to look online before coming here Thanks for the help everyone!
