Anyone available for a day's practical teaching in Princes Risborough in Bucks?

I help run Risborough Youth Theatre who perform at Princes Risborough School. I know next to nothing about stage lighting and all our lanterns have been taken down for PAT testing to be done this week. Assuming at least some of them pass we'll need to put them back up and it seems like an ideal time to do some teaching to a small group. It would include safety, lantern types and how they are used, and which ones are best placed where, relative to the stage, for general use. We have a mixture of floods, profiles, fresnels and PARs controlled from a Jester desk.

We'd be happy to pay up to £200 for expenses and an honorarium. The ideal date is Friday 2nd September but it's not set in stone.

Worth talking to Sir Henry Floyd Grammar in Aylesbury. They have a performing arts tech there (me for 3 years) who might have suitable teaching experience and be up for some freelance work.

Thanks. Risborough School is now part of the academy that includes SHFGS, and Vince Foreshaw is Deputy Head at PRS, but I try not to bother them too much! I think we may have bagged one of the lecturers from Amersham College who specialises in lighting.

Vincent is an ex-colleague of mine, top guy. Glad to hear he's doing well.

Amersham college is a good shout too 🙂
