Lafayette College is in the midst of restructuring the
Theater Department and the Performing Arts Presenting portion of the Williams
Center. Currently this means we are looking for someone who can join us
as we seek to clarify our needs. While we are currently looking for
someone that might be temporary, if we are lucky enough to find a qualified
person this could turn into a permanent position.
The person we are looking for will be responsible for
supporting the technical needs of the Williams Center for our touring groups
that come in (primarily dance and music). Very little in the way of
scenic needs, but someone comfortable with operating a rigging system (hanging
drapery), someone capable of running and preparing for light hangs and focus
with guest and touring designers, work with vendors to procure equipment for
the space (lighting, rigging, safety, etc.), work with student and professional
crews. In an ideal world this person has some scenic background that
would allow them to also run the scene shop or load-ins on stage, but honestly,
we will play to the strengths of any qualified candidate.
This obviously means we need someone familiar with
Vectorworks or some form of CAD. Someone who makes safety a priority as
well. And really we need someone who works well with students and touring
artists. This position will probably work very closely with me in order
to better support our needs in the performing arts on campus.
If you feel like you know someone who might be suitable and
looking for employment come August, please let me know. If you have any
other questions/concerns just ask, I would be more than happy to clarify.
We are trying to move on this rather quickly as contracts are being
handled soon. Thanks so much!
