The technical support team is usually comprised of a stage manager and an assistant. They are responsible for the operation of sound and lighting within the theatre space during technical rehearsals and performances. They are also responsible for the preparation of the space before it is ready for artists to use safely. Some previous technical knowledge would help in order to use the equipment efficiently and to create sound and lighting ques.
All technical equipment will have to be checked by the technical team in order to ensure that the space meets health and safety standards and will not cause any hazards to the performers and the audience. A risk assessment will also need to be completed for this reason.
The technical support team will need to have some understanding of both the technical and artistic elements of a performance in order for it to be delivered exactly to the director’s requests. This will mean the team will need to collaborate and communicate with the director, performers and possibly, costume design.
