Mattie Roquel Rydalch replied to Danielle M. B. Curtis's discussion Teaching stagecraft......"Danielle,
I worked in the scene shop at the University of Idaho (in Moscow) for two years (2009-2011). Our designers were mostly juniors, seniors, and graduate students, but most of the people who built our sets were freshmen and sophomores…"
Danielle M. B. Curtis replied to Danielle M. B. Curtis's discussion Teaching stagecraft......"How long of a build time do you have for your shows? We have five weeks from start to finish, I had an ATD and five Workstudy students....so I'm wondering how the time frame translates?"
Danielle M. B. Curtis replied to Danielle M. B. Curtis's discussion Teaching stagecraft......"Thank you so much for you input, lots to think about!

Rich Dionne replied to Danielle M. B. Curtis's discussion Teaching stagecraft......"Danielle,
I think this is a problem everywhere. Certainly it is at Purdue, where I teach. In the past, their stagecraft class has functioned very much like you describe yours, with projects that don't directly affect the shows we're…"

Hey all! I'm trying to do some research on what other colleges do as activities in their stagecraft classes. We are a small school, and I get about 12 students each semester in my class. At this time we do not have a scene shop, we build onstage and work out of a small shop behind the stage (seriously small; 10'x 30' I would think) where we store flats, platforms, wood, tools, etc. we are hoping that we will be getting a new scene shop in the next year or two, but until then we have to share…See More

Brian Carter replied to Danielle M. B. Curtis's discussion federal lighting efficiency mandate"Are there alternate lighting fixtures in the space? I know of several High School Auditoriums in my county that have flourescent fixtures for everyday use but also have dimmable fixtures for shows and events. If you do not have alternate…"
Erich Friend replied to Danielle M. B. Curtis's discussion Federal Mandated Lighting issues"Placing any lamp in a location where it cannot be serviced is a poor design decision. Hate the designer, not the lamp. It wouldn't matter what lamp was there, it would still be a problem. There are solutions to your access…"
Erich Friend replied to Danielle M. B. Curtis's discussion Federal Mandated Lighting issues"It is possible that they are referring to the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) which was signed into law 2007-12-19. This regulation forces a phase-out of incandescent lamps for general usage. Indirectly, it forces the users…"
David McCall replied to Danielle M. B. Curtis's discussion Federal Mandated Lighting issues"I work in a 4 year old venue with dimmable fluorescent worklights on the grid (44' above the stage).

Danielle M. B. Curtis replied to Danielle M. B.

Curtis's discussion Federal Mandated Lighting issues"We are supposed to be getting rid of incandescent lights, so my college is trying to but dimmable fluorescents in my lights - the do not work.

Jacob Coakley replied to Danielle M. B. Curtis's discussion Federal Mandated Lighting issues"Danielle -
I'd like to give this greater attention, but I'm afraid I don't quite follow the issue here. What's the "federal lighting mandate" as it relates to house lights? Can you give me a little more detail?"
Cortney Hurley replied to Danielle M. B. Curtis's discussion Deer Butt for A Lie of the Mind"I have one as well, at Strawdog Theatre in Chicago. Currently being rented, but it comes back the first week in March. Let me know if you'd like to see photos."
