Hi all,
I'm looking to pick the brains of those of you who have been involved in the industry for some time as to what you believe what makes the best young technicians.
Personally, I worked on the management side of the industry as a Production Manager for about 4 years before deciding I wanted to turn to the more hands on technical side of the industry (specifically lighting, audio, rigging & stagecraft). I enrolled in a 2-year Technical Theatre Production program at a college in Toronto, Canada and just finished up the first year. I'm wondering what tips & advice you may have for young technicians in similar positions to mine.
With four months until I return to school, I'm looking to further my skills and knowledge as much as possible instead of wasting the summer away.
What do you fine folks recommend as a way to build on what I'm already doing over the summer? Can you recommend any training or certifications that are beneficial?
Any other advice would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Jon
