Entertainment rigging. Rigging in the entertainment world can be broken down into two main subjects - theatrical rigging and arena Rigging. All the same skills apply in both genres. One takes place in a theater, the other in an arena or "exposed structure venue" such as a convention center, ballroom, warehouse etc. Many arena riggers find themselves hanging a full proscenium theater in an arena environment. High (or low) wire rigging, while simple in principle and application, requires substantial load-path capacity, as wire walkers generally require high tension in their systems.
