So, in moving from the high school (and helping at the middle schools ect) to working in a road house (and occasionally other random professional gigs), I've noticed a very different approach to working overhead. In my high school if someone was loading/unloading weight the deck was cleared-- NO EXCEPTIONS. In the road house we keep right on working, usually with a warning to run if we hear heads. Also it's not terribly unusual to have riggers on/ in/ around large moving things. Same type thing at other professional shows, if it needs to be done we're expected to do it.
What's the procedure at your venue (s)? What's your take on this? I'm just curious what's done out there...
POLL: I can only put one poll per thread, so I put school, community, and professional with each option. You can select multiple ones if you work at multiple venues and they have different procedures.
Mods: I don't think this crosses the line, but if it does feel free to modify.
Students: These are professional riggers-- there is NO ONE at a school good enough to consider working under them (my little warning).
