Rigging

Hanging lighting, audio, and video equipment from the venue structure using motors and trusses.

In practice

Rigging plans depend on the venue’s structure, approved points, equipment weights, and qualified crew. Share the production plot early and confirm the venue’s requirements and schedule with its rigging lead before equipment is flown; a touring plan does not override house limits.
