Great topic. That said, I cannot remember the last time that I used a weapon on the stage. We have a starter pistol but haven't used it in the last 10 years. As a sound designer we purchased a M Audio M-Track 8 audio system. This allows for me to have eight sends throughout our space. For Beast I was ...

Great response Kristi. We have the same philosophy at our school. Everything begins with the consent. We have special rehearsals for the intimacy moments and do not implement them in the production until tech week. We also try our best to use masking and body position as our ally. ------------------------------ ...

I love Linda's response as well. In any production that calls for intimacy, we always first get the consent of the students and then the parents. Then we have specific rehearsals where we would practice those moments. We never implemented them into the other parts of the production until tech week. There ...

Hey George, Our program does its best to prepare those who are interested in the next level. But the school is only one part. Many of our students who want to prepare for college and the professional world take dance and vocal classes outside the confines of the rehearsal at the school. Our production ...

We have had a Yamaha digital board for years. We have invested in a A&H SQ-7. It is pricy but we love it. I am a fan of the Behringer X32. It could also meet your needs and not break the back. ------------------------------ Crit Fisher Lighting/Sound Designer New Albany High School ---------------- ...

Good afternoon, I'm sure that this topic is on here somewhere but I thought that I would bring it up again. Belt Packs. Do you make your own or do you buy them. If you make your own can you share the design and if you purchase, can you share who you bought them from. We have Sennheiser EW-D SK units. ...
