This week’s project was even more exciting than learning new Cat’s Cradle variations. Russ gave me editing control of the long neglected Project Penguin doc. After a few days of writing, now we have a manual for our specific rigging process.
He almost just deleted the file, since we already have several people who know how to put up the rig. However, we’ve started putting it up more often at Clown Gym, after a several month hiatus, and began teaching Courtney and TJ the ropes. I’d much rather have a thorough description of what to do in addition to the hands-on training, especially with us rigging for lyra on occasion, than trusting people to remember the correct chain tension mark or cotter pin hole for each height.
Tech writing + circus = happy me. Bonus, safe rigging.
