Calvin,
works the tech side.

As
Technical Coordinator, he works with the Sound & Lighting and Projections designers to realize
their designs.
"It's a job somewhere between a Scenographer and a Technical Director, where I work with the directors and designers to create a unified, and collaborative, design concept."
Calvin needs
to know what plugs into what and where. He has spent his time learning the
studio at CEP, all its quirks, layout and design. He is our go-to man. Working
in this new space has been his most exciting aspect, and yet his biggest
challenge.
“Working in a new space, and within the structure of this class, there has been an incredible learning curve in how to navigate the difficulties and challenges in acting in a sort of dual artistic and technical role.”
Calvin is finishing
his Theatre Diploma this spring, and offers this advice to you:
Whenever you start a new project, have a clear image in your head about what you are trying to achieve. Visualize it as clear as you can, and then work towards actualizing it. Knowing what you want is the greatest tool you can empower yourself with in achieving success.

He works
with set, props, costumes, and hair and makeup to help maintain the other side
of a cohesive design. The most exciting thing for Nial has been working on a
production where the students make the designs. “Artistic freedom!” he says.
Of course,
within budget, and the space, and the resources, and that 10 hour a week cap.
Nial also graduates
this spring with a Bachelor of General Studies. His advice is simple:
“It is impossible to take care of anything else if you are falling apart, so you do you. Then take over the world...”
