Jamie is one of our venue technicians. He helps everything in the venue run like clockwork and will soon begin work on our first shows of 2012.
So tell us about your job at Q.
I’m a venue technician, so that means I look after Q’s clients and hiring companies, as well as looking after the space and all the equipment.
What’s the best show you’ve worked on at Q?
Probably the opening weekend. It meant working in a brand new space, which always presents challenges and the performances that were going on were just really different and interesting. Plus it was great to be part of such a historical moment for Auckland theatre.
What’s been the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far at Q?
Definitely installing the pool in Rangatira for Tartuffe.
Do you have any other theatre work coming up?
Yes I’m working on the International Arts Festival in Wellington, being tech crew for the Festival club.
What’s your favourite thing about Auckland?
I’ve never lived anywhere else so it’s hard to choose, it’s just home.
What’s the best show you’ve seen or been involved in?
Smoke and Mirrors. I worked on that during the Auckland Arts Festival last year. It was a really exciting and unique show, and it was in the Spiegeltent which is a really cool venue.
What’s your favourite song or album?
I don’t really have a favourite, but I really like Bruce Springsteen.
What would be your fancy dress costume of choice?
Santa.
What is your most over-used phrase?
I can’t think of anything e-news appropriate.
Finally, what are you going to do with your long weekend?
Probably go to the beach and the pub.
