Course description
This course introduces students to the fundamentals of the technology of sound, lighting and editing. It is designed for students who need to be able to perform basic sound checks at creative arts events, construct basic lighting states at creative arts events, and edit written material for creative arts events. The course will also introduce students to issues related to backstage management and OHS issues in the performance world. This is a hands-on course, using the Geoffrey Rush Drama Studio as one location for instruction. Students will be encouraged to put their learning to use in practical contexts outside the course to assist in music and drama performances where practicable, and to become editors of the work of others' as the opportunities become available. This course may be cancelled if fewer than 20 students enrol
