A Grip is a term that dates back to the early days of the circus. It carried on from there to vaudeville and on to today's music and film soundstages and sets. These are the people that do the laborous work on these sets. They push, pull, roll, and lift various pieces of equipment under the watchful eye of the director, Producer, or art director etc... The chief grip is called the key grip.
