WORK WITh us
DSM / AV Operator
We are looking for a London based DSM with operating experience to work with us on Please right back.
About the role:
The operator will be running two hours’ worth of complicated video and sound cues.
We don’t need technical wizardry as our animator will programme the video and av sound cues.
You will need to be responsive, a team player, capable, be able to work independently and closely with the whole team both on and off stage.
You will be fundamental to running the show, so clear communication, and a willingness to throw yourself in at the deep end are crucial. You must be experienced and proficient getting to grips with a huge operating score and awkward fiddly cues! Organisation is crucial.
In rehearsals you will note AV and other relevant cue changes.
On tour you will assist the Production Manager in facilitating the staging requirements of the production – including get in & get out; building and maintenance of set elements/props; the efficient management of local venue crew.
