Loose Moose training

So last night, I shadowed a Moosian ( a member of the Loose Moose company - a Looser didn't sound right) on stage lights. It was wicked. The job itself is fairly easy - technically. But as lighting person, you actually have the power to massage the scene. Firstly, lighting really does affect the look, the mood of the scene. Secondly, the lighting person has the power to decide that the scene is getting long in the tooth and end it. So - timing is everything. Now normally, that could be a stressful responsibility, but the Moosers are very supportive. I took over the lighting for the second half of Gorilla Improv and it was awesome. Many thanks to Steve (the sound guy) for giving me great cues.
