Video idea as I've always wondered this: What information do you need/ get from a venue when you are a touring production? And how do you adapt your lighting / effects to the space?

[@Hinakurachan7]

Thank you for your insight on this! I have been considering the possibility of working on a ship, so this information helps a lot.

Great video! While I have never worked on a ship, I have known several people who have (performers, musicians, tech). One friend could not get over the seasickness issue and ended up having to leave their contract early. One person ended up having to visit the ship’s medical several times for STI meds. 😒😒😒
