I learned so many things by being at CATF, while working alongside extremely knowledgeable and talented human beings. At CATF, I learned how to clean, bench, focus, and work long hours with a variety of people. The first month of my internship consisted of cleaning, benching, hanging, focusing, and creating practicals. I was able to work with I-cues, Seachangers, DMX irises, and a variety of conventional lighting fixtures. During the second month of my internship, I got put in the Marinoff (a theater in the round) as the light board op so I got to work with a professional master electrician, lighting designer, and stage manager. Until this point, I had been working with mostly students, specifically in the stage management realm. CATF has three theater spaces and we executed six shows, which meant that each theater needed to be in repertory. This meant that I had to do changeovers of the set and some lighting aspects, including flying set objects on winches, rigging set pieces on the fly, laying down a large ground cloth covered with dirt, and cleaning up fake blood, once or twice a day with five other women. These changeovers needed to be a maximum of an hour because that is how much time we would have between performances of the two different shows. I had to learn how to communicate and work with the other women in order to execute changeover efficiently. Our final time for changeover was forty eight minutes. During each of the changeovers, I was the person flying set pieces and lighting practicals in; I had to fly in large metal beams and rig a chandelier up on the fly using airline cable. The last week at CATF was strike week, in which I helped with striking all of the lighting fixtures in each of the three theaters and hanging the rep plot up for two of them.
