Hello everyone!
So, I'm a high school teacher with a previous career in acting, and unfortunately I don't have nearly as much training in stage lighting as I wish I did... At our school, we recently got a new theatre arts room including new lights, new boards, the works, which is completely amazing BUT due to a bunch of things, I haven't gotten training from actual theatre professionals on how to use it. Part of our issue is we live in a remote location. I've been told I will likely get training sometime in the future, but my biggest concern is our large school play goes up at the end of February and I am trying to program the lights for our show, with limited success- I can build a scene with the lights and save it to a cue list, but it's sometimes glitching out and doesn't run properly, and I don't know about programming presets. Does anyone know of any crash courses online that may address some of this? I've tried reading a bunch of articles that just made me more confused, so any course where I could access an instructor would be ideal. Thank you!
