Originally from the nautical realm, sailors would be responsible for maintaining a complex setup for moving and maintaining sails and rigging. Today, we use that term to refer to Base Crew members who set up equipment and prepare it for use at various venues and performances. These crew members are experienced at rigging up equipment to lift and load equipment by using complex strategies and a thorough knowledge of safety protocols. Riggers would tend to be highly realistic people who are independent, stable, practical and thrifty. The job requires them to be physical, athletic and mechanically-minded but with a high dose of caution considering the potential danger if they make an error in calculations.
This role actively provides support to the director, actors, designers, stage crew and technicians throughout the entire production. Their organizational skills and communication to the rest of the crew will ensure the director’s instructions and direction is known throughout the whole team.
