Dance Assembly
Today was the BYU Dance Devotional. It was fun. I was up at 6am to report and begin teching at 6:45. All went well for us and I was able to run sound for the program. This year, the title of the Devotional was Kaleidoscope. It presented some great numbers from each of the five main dance companies. I loved the number that Dancers' Company chose. The music was from Handel's Messiah. I really look forward to working with Dancers' Company this year to see all the different varieties of pieces they will choose for Dance in Concert and their Summer tour. Gotta love work!

Stagehands have astonishing learning curves. It's not unusual for stage crews to have trucks full of unknown scenery arrive at a theatre on Monday, which we need to assemble and understand to open a show we've never seen before... on Tuesday night.
Most people, if confronted with such a task, would flatly say it was impossible.
Stagehands find ways to make it possible. We learn quickly, we draw upon years of experience, skills and training, and (all too often) we drink lots of coffee and work all night.
I've had one longstanding handicap in my career as a stagehand. I don't drink coffee.
