The Company Index |
TechnicalBirmingham Royal Ballet's Technical department is the most diverse in the Company. It includes Wardrobe, Shoes, Wigs, Lighting, Stage Management and Stage Technicians. Although the costumes for the shows are normally made outside the Company (often in London at the Royal Opera House), they are fitted, mended, washed and ironed by the wardrobe staff. When a ballet is revived, many of the costumes will have to be altered to fit the current dancers in the Company. As costumes are extremely expensive, they have to be recycled as much as possible. All of the wigs worn during productions are also produced in-house. The Shoe Supervisor is responsible for keeping sufficient quantities of shoes and ribbon in stock, as well as dying shoes and organising any additional footwear that is needed. The Stage Technicians, led by the Head of Scenic Presentation, are responsible for the technical presentation of all Birmingham Royal Ballet shows, ranging from laying and preparing the floor, building and operating scenery, rigging and organising props. The Lighting Technicians are responsible for the sourcing, maintenance, rigging, programming and focussing of all the lighting equipment. The Stage Management ensure all of these things happen correctly and at the right time.
