The Cork Opera House has recently used Stage Electrics' expertise to train its staff and now will be hosting the open courses at the end of August.
Course schedules include: Moving Light Masterclass and Advanced Strand Desk Programming. The Cork Opera House is also the first venue to host the newly developed Stage Flying & Rigging course. This course covers counterweight flying, single & double purchase, traditional hemp flying and rope craft together with LOLER principles and legislation, rigging, truss and motors.
Sara Alarabi, training manager for Stage Electrics, says: "I am delighted that we are expanding beyond the UK and are now running our popular technical theatre training courses in The Republic of Ireland. We have recently had delegates on our courses from Spain, Holland and Pakistan and we've had enquiries from as far afield as The UAE and China."
