VELVET - (Jan 2017 to April 2017)
Lighting Programmer & Operator
VELVET is a show starring Marcia Hines that's loosely based on the popular nightclub studio 54 back in the day in New York City. The production is a large scale but shrunken down fringe show beginning in Fringe World Festival in Perth, WA right through to Adelaide, SA in Thebarton Theatre to Tasmania with the Hobart Spiegeltent Festival run by Strut & Fret in association with 10 Days on the Island Festival and then finished touring in New South Wales for Wollongong Spiegeltent Festival in which I trained 5 people to take over my role as operator, programmer and followspot operator.

Lighting Programmer & Operator
Air nightclub is incredibly unique compared to other nightlife entertainment venues in regards to the size of the space and the type of equipment within the rig. 16 Robe MiniPointes being the brunt of the rig I had a fairly easy time making each night look different even after over a year of working the same rig.

programmer/operator for Live music
WAAPA - RADIOACTIVE (Late 2016)
Lighting Designer
Vision Designer
Lighting Programmer & Operator
The specific stage layout and the way it compliments the screen layout allows for safe flying of the LED wall during the performance. This production is a high-energy celebration of chart toppers from the 1960s right through to today's hit music. The vision content on the screen accompanied the specific songs extremely well, adding another layer to the performance not previously seen for the performance at WAAPA before, pushing the boundaries of production as intended within the design.

programmer for Son Et Lumière
WAAPA - Third Year Son Et Limière (Late 2016)
Lighting Programmer
This production had a focus on the past musical productions that WAAPA had done making the soundtrack, matched aesthetics through cues and recorded with timecode I arranged for playback. A simple exercise in making a short <10min Son Et Lumière relevant to the graduating third years at WAAPA.
costume programmer/operator for a major musical
WAAPA - Bring It On (Mid 2016)
Head Electrician
Costume Programmer & Operator
This show had an incredible amount of production value riddled throughout, one of those facets was the costume electrics. During one of the final songs of the performance 20 cast members run on each with a custom 8x8 LED panel sewn into their costume wirelessly controlled from one of the GrandMA 2 Consoles in session with the vision console and main console. The costume electrics were programmed to compliment the choreography with motion embellishments and at times spell out a chant happening within the song. My role on this production was head electrician, after the bump in and once we got into rigorous plotting my role turned boring and so switched to the plotting and operation of the costume electrics in order to keep busy.

programmer/operator for Dance
WAAPA - Dance Productions (Early + Late 2015)
Lighting Programmer & Operator
Vision Programmer & Operator
During my time at WAAPA I worked on multiple dance productions as the console operator and vision operator/designer which gave me a great deal of experience learning my best work flow methods and taught me how to increase efficiency during plotting. Using the GrandMA 2 throughout, I honed my skill on the console even further in order to be as efficient and accurate as possible. Timecode became incredible key for performance because certain pieces had multiple sequences and a single audio track, this gave us an opportunity to run part of the show entirely off one button push.
