What are the Technological Possibilities?
Many
theatre artists/engineers find themselves in a situation lacking
in state of the art equipment. Looking at what you don't
have and complaining about it does not help the situation. Looking
at what you do have and complaining doesn't help either.
Complaining very often leads to a failure of imagination. Instead,
assess the situation, ground yourself in what you really can't
do, and figure out the possibilities. For instance, you really
can't fly anything when the stage space has an eight foot ceiling.
But you can use panels and grooves that could meet production
needs.
Approach the challenge positively
and avoid a failure of imagination.
