peer agreement (net): +1head stagehand Explanation: Tramoyista. En sí mismo podría ser un cuerpo, dada en ocasiones la complejidad de su trabajo en el esquema de la representación. Tradicionalmente, tramoyistas o "maquinistas" eran el oficial (o maquinista jefe) y los ayudantes que atendían el manejo de tramoyas en el espacio escénico. Dentro del grupo podría incluirse al arroje, nombre que recibían cada uno de los operarios que se tiraban (textualmente se arrojaban al vacío) desde el telar del torreón de tramoya para con su contrapeso conseguir que se alzase el pesado telón del escenario, al que iban unidos por gruesas maromas o simplemente asidos a ellas. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oficios_del_teatro A tramoyista is definitely a stagehand. However, I'm not completely sure if head stagehand is the correct term. Frank Ferrante Head Stagehand Alice Tully Hall http://oneunionhand.blogspot.com.es/p/references_2837.html Types of stagehand Head Professional Stagehands Audio engineer (A1) Assistant audio (A2) Video engineer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagehand "Texas is a right-to-work state," says head stagehand José "Hoss" Dovalina, "so we had an easier time relaxing the union rules for this Ring cycle or, maybe, cycles. But if anyone can make it burn and flood over and over again, it's us." http://www.npr.org/sections/deceptivecadence/2014/04/01/2957... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2016-12-20 21:56:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- La tramoya es el conjunto de máquinas e instrumentos con los que se efectúan, durante la representación teatral, los cambios de decorado y los efectos especiales. En su origen, designaba a una sola máquina empleada para las transformaciones mágicas de los actores y del decorado1 Coloquialmente ha llegado a usarse como sinónimo de teatro o mundo del teatro. Se llama tramoyista o "maquinista" al especialista que atiende las tareas y el manejo de tramoyas en el espacio escénico. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tramoya Though if it refers to the 'tramoya', not just moving scenery, then it would be the headd rigger. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 58 mins (2016-12-20 22:25:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Mc3JCQAAQBAJ&pg=PA218&lp... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2016-12-21 09:15:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As a stagehand you would: load and unload equipment; help carpenters to build and put up scenery; attend rehearsals; move scenery, furniture and heavy equipment during performances; open and close curtains between acts; operate manual and automated scenery-moving machinery; clear the stage and backstage area at the end of the performance. http://www.stagejobspro.com/uk/guide/job-descriptions -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2016-12-21 09:28:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I've just found 'head machinist', which I didn't know existed until now. However, there aren't many references. Lautenschläger studied under Carl Brandt at the court theatre in Darmstadt from there he went to Munich, where he worked for 22 years and became the head machinist at the Royal theatre. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolving_stage operating moving scenery (traditionally the person who does this is a 'flyman'). Flying scenery is often not a job on its own, but can be a part of the role of stagehand or theatre mechanist. https://ccskills.org.uk/careers/advice/article/backstage-cre... While we were there, we found out exactly what a stage manager, head machinist and lighting director do. Genevieve also chatted with the creatives, Lee Lewis and Kit Brookman about how they get ready for a 22 week long run of a play. http://blogs.abc.net.au/canberra/2010/10/bell-shakespeare-ta... |
