Tech rehearsal 技術排練（技排）
The rehearsal where technical elements are added to the staging and worked through cue by cue. It runs slowly and stops often. It belongs to the technical departments rather than to the director's rehearsal process, which is the part most often misunderstood when the schedule is written.
中文
把技術元素加進走位、一個 cue 一個 cue 走的排練。速度慢、停得多。主導權在技術部門手上，不是導演排戲的時段，排進度表時最常搞錯這一點。
Regional usage
| Where | Term | Note |
|---|---|---|
| HK | 技術綵排 | 香港寫「綵排」，最後一次完整跑是「總綵排」。 |
| TW | 技排 | 臺灣寫「彩排」，技術排練簡稱技排。 |
Easy to get wrong
香港寫「綵排」，臺灣和大陸寫「彩排」。合約和通告表上不要混用。
「彩排」單獨出現時通常指帶妝帶服的排練，不是技排。
A tech is not a run. Scheduling a three-hour tech for a two-hour show is the most reliable way to overrun.
