BECTU and Equity

Bectu helps technicians working on a freelance basis in lighting, sound and stage occupations (everyone in the BBC is a member of Bectu) where equity is more aimed towards actors and stage management. 

As unions they both offer support to their members in the form of Legal Representation/Advice, insurance and discounts for different companies that work with each of them. Both unions campaign to help their members be paid fairly, be treated correctly at work and ensure that they can work in safe environments. (all current campaigns are on their websites bectu.org.uk and equity.org.uk) They both endorse training courses to help members gain better skills and develop themselves, e.g. they provide courses such as working with heights, first aid courses, and pyrotechnics safety training courses.

They also provide social event such as “The freelancers day” which is advertised on the BECTU website.

Hire companies

LX- 

PRG - biggest lighting hire company in the world White Light - big in the west end, do a lot of UK tours Stage Electrics - smaller than the others

Sound- Autograph Orbital True Sound

Set- Scenetec Clockwork Scenery 3D Creations

Props- David Finch The National Theatre (also supply costumes)

Hire companies such as these help provide discounts to educational establishments such as the miskin theatre due to them knowing we have less of a bugdet than a professional theatre. They also provide discounts to networked colleages, this is why it is good to network with these companies, i.e doing work experience for them or working at hire companies as a casual.

Hire companies are also useful to small theatres that can’t afford to buy and go through the maintenance of owning their own lighting for example, whereas using hire companies they don’t have to worry sbout maintenance, and also give them the option to use a range of different lights for each show ranther than using the same lights over and over again. This would be sueful for a company lthat like to explore different genres of theatre i.e. ballet, opera amatear dramatics that all use different types of lights.

show run times

3rd- 7:32 open first half- 25 mins interval- 21 mins second half- 34 mins 4th- 7:30 open first half- 26 mins interval-17 mins second half- 33 mins 5th feb- 7:30 open first half- 26 mins interval- 16 mins second half- 32 mins 6th feb- 7:31 open first half- 25 mins interval- 16 mins second half- 32 mins 7th feb 1st show- 5:01 open first half- 26 mins interval- 17 mins second half- 31 mins 7th feb 2nd show- 7:41 open first half- 25 mins interval- 28 mins second half- 33 mins The pattern and timing of the show became more steady further into the show process as I was getting faster at the transitions between songs aswell as pauses in between songs. During the last show aswell as during or before some other shows there were lighting and desk malfunctions which delayed the show runs and therefore added to the interval times.

research

The planets where written between 1914 and 1916 by the English composer Gustav Holst. It was premiered in queen hall on 29th September 1918 by a friend of Holst Adrian Boult and played to 250 people (it was obviously  written in reflection of the war that was going on at the time) and that he was going through a midlife crisis. The movements were Mars, The Bringer of War Venus, The Bringer of Peace Mercury, The Winged Messenger Jupiter, The Bringer of Jollity Saturn, The Bringer of Old Age Uranus, The Magician Neptune; The Mystic Pluto was not discovered until 1930. 14 years after the peace was put together Holst died less than four years later, and never wrote a movement to honour the newest found planet. At the time this was written in the build-up to the war, the war started in 1914 and these pieces were written during the period and he finished writing 2 years later he died in May 25, 1934.
