Technical Careers

The Production Manager coordinates the different aspects of the theatrical (as opposed to business) side of dance, such as lighting, set, costume and sound design. They can work for either the theater or the dance company.

The Stage Manager calls the lighting and sound cues during the show, communicates between the performers, the technicians and the front of house staff and sometimes recommends adjustments to the staging.

Stage Hands raise the curtain, arrange the props and execute any technical elements required prior to and during the performance.

The Electrician hangs and focuses the lights in the theater. The electrician also deals with the various sound and light wires and cables. And in some cases helps with the sets and/or curtains.

The Carpenter builds sets (not necessarily made of wood) for the dancers to dance in, on or around. This helps the dances have more specific settings or atmosphere.
