Amsterdam production of "Hair"
Spotlight Operator & Roadie: Spring/Summer of 1971
Spotlight operator for the Amsterdam, Holland, production of the pop musical. S*X & DR*GS & R*CK & R*LL. Wheeeeee!
We were Young
We were Thin
We Had lots of Hair
Can't remember a lot,
but it sure was fun.
By the early 70's the runaway counter-cultural musical hit "Hair" had dozens of productions around the world.
Karma, luck - or whatever - I got to hang around an international cast of hotties. And got paid for it. In Amsterdam, no less. Lived on a houseboat. Out of a backpack.

Show up & Have Fun
I'd always been a good graphic artist, but this experience helped guide me towards electric, multidimensional performance media - video and eventually digital environments.
