[SML] My (kind of) new gig/ Looking for decent online lighting course

[Kristi R-C]

I’m optimistic I’ll be offering a summer class through University of Wisconsin -  Madison that does that, but not certain you can wait until the summer.

Howdy.  I hope you are all thriving or at least surviving.  I wasn't able to reply to the "What are you doing these days?" post that came out a month or so ago because I was busy transitioning into my new gig which isn't really a new gig.  For the last 22 years, I've been the Drama/ Video/ Stagecraft/ DT teacher, director, set designer (etc. etc.) at the American School in Japan.  Last year, our theater manager retired and I  have quite happily transitioned into the position where I am thoroughly enjoying wearing just one hat.  I'm still teaching stagecraft but other than that I manage the day-to-day operations of our 440-seat (expandable to 600) proscenium arch theater and our black box.  I'm designing three main shows and running the lights and sound crews.  Although non of this is brand new to me, I would very much like to brush up on my lighting skills, in particular DMX, LEDs, Movers, and programming our ETC boards. I would also be OK with reviewing basics like creating a plot, circuiting, and color theory.   Can anyone recommend a decent online course that might help me with this?  Ideally, it would be something I could do at my own pace without required face-to-face elements, as the time difference is a killer.  I've browsed YouTube and found some helpful videos but am hoping to find a one-stop shop.  I do have some PD money I can use.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.
