Management


Tech Drawing

The successful implementation of a production or event depends heavily upon the management of it’s elements. The lighting, sound, vision, media content, occupational health and safety considerations, crew and cast lists, guest list, and such all need to be coordinated and facilitated by someone, or more importantly a group of people.

If you have read this far, I congratulate you! On this page I am not going to go on for hours about management rhetoric and organizational theories, instead I am going to show you some of my past work, and the results of that work. This is the place that I will show my work in the art of Technical, Stage and Production Management. Risk Assessments, Safe Work Method Statements, Contact Lists, Action Registers and so on are as much a piece of art as a set design or physical sculpture, because they must have a logical form, yet present information both efficiently and economically.

Whoh, almost got lost on that mangerial rhetoric train of thought, so lets get down to business, and start with some examples from past work.

About

My name is Geordie Barker, and I am a Freelance Festival Worker, Lighting Designer, Stage/Technical Manager & Sculpture Artist. For a majority of the year, I live in Melbourne, Australia, but I am usually lucky enough to spend 4-5 months of the year working overseas. I graduated from the Victorian College of the Arts in 2008, with a Bachelor of Dramatic Art (Production). I have worked throughout Australia, South East Asia and the UK. This site is where I document my work, travel, commentaries on life and host my folio.

This website started in the form of a blog on March 15th 2008, one day before my  birthday in my graduating year of VCA. I have always liked the idea of having a public blog, and have held a few free ones here and there, but its not quite the same as having a domain name and your own hosting.

On the 17th of March, my first published line was “On this blog I hope to share my experiences in a wide range of fields, roughly including technology, politics, travel, the arts and general observations on the world around me. Please feel free to comment, question, correct and argue with me.”
