Aims
The aim of this course is to equip level 4 students with both basic safe working knowledge and practical core competency in design and technical tasks that consider industry expectations as well as LIPA in-house safe working practices that include an exploration of the legal obligations explicit in the work place. These competencies will enable the learner to work in an informed and safe manner. The delivery of technical and design responsibilities requires certain fundamental skills that will be deployed in future assessments, AutoCAD, Photoshop software and other visualisation platforms, key practices that will form a strong foundation for future assessments and practical delivery
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate an understanding of the key elements of technical drawings, layouts and visualisations for performance by creating accurate computer-aided designs in two and three-dimensional forms.
2.
Demonstrate abilities in backstage production-related skills, such as scenic construction workshop techniques, basic electrical safety and skills, rigging and flying equipment techniques and working at height.
3.
Appreciate and implement codes of practice and safe working procedures related to LIPA's Health and Safety policy and industry-related regulations.
4.
Create, assemble and modify raster graphic images through the use of the photo manipulation software to communicate design ideas and intentions.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Students will undertake and achieve suitable expertise in technical and design tasks associated with producing live performance safely. This will include such issues and skills as:
*Computer-aided design using AutoCAD software and computer visualisation software.
*Introduction to Photoshop software.
*Scenic construction workshop techniques, tools & safety.
*Stage technology, incorporating the understanding flying and rigging systems and how to design (e.g. Loading and suspension considerations), install and operate them safely.
*Basic electrical safety.
*Soldering skills.
*Working at height and the use of in-house access equipment, such as stepladders, extension ladders, Zarges, Tallescopes and Genie platforms. Use of chemicals, solvents and flammable or volatile substances.
*Fire safety at work.
*Development of skills in technical and design areas in AV
