Theatre Audio Training Workshop, Cape Town

Please join DWR Distribution for the Theatre Audio Training Workshop presented by Christo Davis on 6 June from 9 am to 4 pm in Milnerton, Cape Town. A sought-after sound engineer in the international theatre industry, Christo’s career spans over 20 years as a FOH operator for shows like Blue Man Group, Jersey Boys, The Phantom of the Opera and The Lion King.

Christo’s first Theatre Audio Workshop was hosted in Johannesburg in February this year, and he looks forward to sharing his knowledge with audio engineers and technicians living in Cape Town, which is now his home town.

“Travelling with various shows over the years, I have come to realise that there is a lack of real-life experience when it comes to finding good operators in theatres,” said Christo. “There is also a lack of understanding of what is required to be a good theatre operator, even amongst seasoned professionals. When I finished working on Harry Potter in Australia in 2019, I felt like I wanted to do more to contribute to the industry, in a meaningful way, and help guide young sound engineers to become highly skilled theatre operators. I experienced a real lack of ‘knowledge sharing’ amongst engineers, and this is my contribution to rectifying the situation. This workshop will hopefully be the first step on that journey.”

The session includes practical training on the DiGiCo platform and will cover the following content:

•          Timeline of key events

•          My approach

•          Console Setup

•          DCA’s

•          Programming DCAs

•          Mixing

•          Foldback

•          Script

•          Q&A with some hands-on experience                                         

The cost is R600 per person and includes a light lunch.
