Rough focus

See, Focus. This term refers to the first run at focusing lighting instruments. At TCT we reserve a Saturday or weekday night about three weeks out from performance to do a "hang and rough focus", where the lighting instruments are hung from the appropriate places on the various lighting battens and then roughly aimed for subsequent technical rehearsals. We continue to aim and adjust the beam size of the lighting instruments until we achieve the results desired by the director and lighting designer.
