For the past few days, I've been spending a lot of my time watching tech. rehearsals, doing small, odd jobs and helping in whatever way l can, but it's given me the opportunity ask lots of obnoxious questions and a lot about lighting design.

The more time I spend here, the more I seem to discover the enormous scope of a lighting technician's job. Yesterday, for example, I helped log the RSC's recent purchases on to a spread sheet and even though it might sound strange, I actually had a lot of fun discovering everything that the RSC had to buy for their recent shows, Richard II and Henry IV parts I and II.

I have to start out by apologizing that it has taken me so long to start posting, but now that I'm comfortably over here in Stratford, I'm fully ready to tell you about (and I hope not bore you with) all of the details of my job at the RSC. At the moment I'm working at The Courtyard Theatre in Stratford, with the Royal Shakespeare Company, and I've been learning so much and having a great time. The people I work with are so patient and hugely accepting of me. I really appreciate their willingness to explain anything and everything I don't understand and I couldn't be happier to be working with such wonderful people. (And I promise that I'm not just saying that in case some here reads my blog; I really do mean that.)
