Stage Management: Other / Re: Concert Stage Management
« on: Jun 10, 2013, 04:29 pm »
I've done some SMing for concerts and the like before. Most of my work is in theatre and dance; however, everyone is a musician so I've gotten a few calls. I usually do it because of my involvement with multi-use venues. Usually in that capacity I work as a hybrid general technician and production manager. You don't really call lighting cues for bands. LBOs for concerts are often extremely experienced. Most often I work on the side of the venue to make sure the talent and their support people have what they need and can tie into house systems.
A few times in the past I have helped small bands on small tours. It still feels more along the lines of PMing because you are checking in with venues before going there. Making sure you know everything you need to know to get loaded in and stuff like that. It's an interesting gig for sure.
