This is would be a great class to take if I was in San Diego. I'd love it if there was something like this on the East Coast. Rigging always seems to be one of the areas of theatre that not everyone is comfortable with and so it ends up falling on one person and they are really the only one who knows what to do. Unlike other areas of theatre that everyone has a bit of knowledge about. Rigging should definitely be taught more and more people should be educated on this aspect of the theatre.
I agree with Tyler, this would be great to take if we were in San Diego. I know that we have ad Sapsis rigging come to CMU before, but it would be great if they came more frequently and also did a course for all technicians, not just the TDs. If the freshmen could get this as part of their stagecraft course, it would really help everyone out in safety as they went through their years here and also as they slowly started their career in this industry. The more rigging and safety classes we teach specifically for our industry will really help us be more unified and a better industry to work in.
