AC-ET, Prolyte & Backstage Academy To Run 2011 Rigging Schools
A.C. Entertainment Technologies' Rigging division will be running three further two-day Rigging Training Schools during 2011 at the LS-LIVE Studio in Wakefield, with the first event taking place on Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 March.
The second Rigging School will take place on Wednesday 8 and Thursday 9 June, with a third event to be held in September (dates still to be confirmed).
The Rigging School is a training partnership between A.C. Rigging, leading trussing and staging manufacturer Prolyte and Backstage Academy, the Wakefield-based initiative offering various types of entertainment industry training.
Keeping the same format as last year, the comprehensive two-day training programme is an established course that has been attended by industry practitioners from across Europe.
Eric Porter, experienced independent rigger, trainer, adviser and committee member for the PLASA National Rigging Certificate, will again lead the course.
Designed to be accessible and affordable to those with different levels of experience, content is aimed at professionals wanting to acquire specific know-how and expertise to use day-to-day, yet is equally suitable for those in other industry roles wishing to increase their understanding of this sector.
Topics covered include:
The Rigging Schools offer an invaluable opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the latest Prolyte trussing products and the full range of new CM Lodestar chain hoist motors, including the D8, D8+ and C1 version, which are available from AC-ET.
Entry on the course is £349 (plus VAT) per person, which includes lunch, overnight accommodation, certificate of attendance and an evening meal with other delegates.
