Just curious, wondering where we stand on labor and technical expertise. What does your typical dance plot involve at the high school level?
For example, we use four trees of five lights in the wings, a simple wash from bridge positions, an overhead wash, and then a complex layout of ellipsoidals crisscrossing the stage complete with gobos. 3 high side Fresnels are located on the ends of 3 overhead electrics, and a cyc with RGB + Yellow. This is dictated to me - before I was hired the dance teacher brought in a high paid LD, and the same plot is requested yearly.
After stopping by a local community college today, I realized their plots are much simpler than the ones we use, so I'm curious what the rest of the world looks like now.
