Contemporary Circus - Cultural Event

The cultural events at TASIS Switzerland allow for a showcase of various different types of performing art to the students. As part of my role as Technical Coordinator I work organise and manage the Tech Team to setup the performing space from scratch with a lighting rig, PA system and projections as well as coordinating with maintenance to lay out the marley flooring and build the theatre blacks at the back of the stage.

For the duration of the performance I design and run the light, sound and visual projections and information. Then coordinating the pack down and closing of the venue space for the evening.

Loom Project

to 3 Jul

Loom Project

This project started with a lack of cables and trying to save time. It was also an interesting project due to the budget constrains and trying to create something that would be applicable for long term use and easily repairable if something were to break. It started with a plan to reduce cable mess to make the performance space safer and to be able to have one set of cables to go to each side of the gym that is used as a performance space. This involved a verity of audio sends and returns along with DMX and earth separated power for lighting and sound equipment. The system also needed to have space to expand and change to meet requirements in the future.

The system also grew to be able to house a shelf of radio mic receivers and install an old Sennheiser radio mic and receiver as an announce and rehearsal mic to buy time during setup when performance mics are being setup. The current setup allows for expansion in the future along with building towards making each performance setup time shorter to allow for longer rehearsals and equipment fine tuning.

IMG_4673.JPG

This also required justifying the expense of completely replacing some of the existing cabling. At the first use and implementation there were some teething issues such as educating the team of how to roll out the cable and put it away properly and ensuring each connector was plugging into the right port, easily solved with some colour coded tape on each connector and each port.

IT Department Prep for Summer

During the summer of 2017 at TASIS Switzerland I worked for the IT Department for a week at the start of the summer and a week at the end of the summer. The principle being that another pair of hands is extremely useful during changeover from winter to summer school when inventorying the classrooms, setting up new laptops and computer labs along with enrolling the new computers in the casper management software.

The summer of 2017 was the first official year of me working for the IT Department, yet previous summers I have assisted them projects without officially being contracted to.
