<b>Subject:</b> [SML] My (kind of) new gig/ Looking for decent online lighting course<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
