Autumn automation classes

The Stage Technologies training department is offering new 1-day introductory courses on automation and operator programming at the end of September in London.

The courses are aimed at students of technical theatre, technical professionals who wish to expand their skills into automation and automation operators who would like to familiarise themselves with eChameleon techniques and the very latest in operating software. Attendees will be taught on dedicated PC Wing training desks.

Course 1, ‘Introduction to Automation and the eChameleon Suite’, is ideal for beginners. The programme offers attendees a basic understanding of automation use and best practice, an understanding of terminology and architecture of automation systems, a basic understanding of eChameleon features and functionality, and an understanding of health and safety, as applied to stage automation.

Course 2, ‘eChameleon Suite Plotting and Programming’, is ideal for those who wish to refresh their skills or take their programming ability to the next level. Trainers will demonstrate a step-by-step guided tutorial of setting up a basic show, plotting and show running techniques, best practices with eChameleon and the basics of advanced and complex plotting within eChameleon (including Stage Technologies Sculptor and 3DST software tools).

Classes are just £75 per person, inclusive of a light lunch and will be held at The Theatre’s Trust on 27th, 28th and 29th September. For more information contact the automation training department, call us on 0208 2086000 or drop in to see us at this year’s PLASA on stand P-12.
