Dry tech 無演員技術排練
A technical rehearsal run without performers, so departments can work through scene changes, cue sequences and automation moves at their own pace before anyone is put into them. It is usually the cheapest place in the schedule to find the problems.
中文
不帶演員的技術排練，讓各部門先按自己的節奏走一次換景、cue 的順序和機械動作，再讓演員進來。整個進度表裡，這是找出問題成本最低的時段。

Easy to get wrong
把 dry tech 譯成「乾排」會被理解成不帶技術的走位排練，意思剛好相反。
A dry tech is not a paper tech. A paper tech is a table meeting about where cues sit, with nothing switched on and nobody on stage.
Scheduling a dry tech does not release the cast. Check the call sheet before anyone assumes a day off.
