58m
Every incredible design need quality craftspersons to implement it. Behind the scenes, stagehands, props, carps, electricians, and more create the magic and maintain the vision of designers. In North America, stagehands are represented by the labor union IATSE (International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees). We will hear from some of the great stagehands in New York City, how they view their contribution to the artistic process, the value of a supportive union, life as a professional stagehand, and more insights from those working in the wings. Every designer will walk away with a better understanding of how their design comes to life and every technician will gain insights into how IATSE supports over 150,000 technicians, artisans, and craftspersons in the entertainment industry.
