An introductory, hands-on, two-day course on stage rigging in a theatre setting, focusing on the use of counterweight rigging systems. This workshop is designed for entertainment professionals looking to build practical rigging skills in a real theatre environment.
Delivered on stage, the course combines foundational knowledge with applied, hands-on experience. The goal is to establish a benchmark understanding of safe rigging practices and help participants recognize when rigging systems may not be safe. Rigging is one of the least understood areas of theatre, and this course aims to improve awareness and safety across the industry.
This course is intended for anyone who works in or around a theatre environment, including head carpenters, wardrobe teams, assistant stage managers (ASMs), deck audio technicians, students in a college/university program, musical directors, set designers, concert riggers, and many others.
