In this session we talked about stage management and all the different responsibilities that go along with this, the hierarchy of the management system and the key skills needed. We did a group activity where we had a plan a theoretical hen party, thinking about all the guests who might have special requirements and different timings etc. The principles used to organise anything can be applied to stage management, including use of time, delegation and communication. The group also looked at how to conduct a risk assessment and what limits are placed on us within the university in terms of health and safety.
Introduction to Lighting
In this workshop we were given a brief introduction to the lighting set up in ANG15. After some health and safety notes and some technical language information, we were instructed and demonstrated how to use the lighting system. The tech room at the side of ANG15 has a light board with many sliders and switches on it, which we had all explained to us and how to correctly use them.
From these sessions I learned what skills I would need to develop in order to work in production or stage management, and also that the only thing stopping us from doing anything we want in the university is money, so long as we carry out a full risk assessment and put correct measures in place. I also learned how to use the lighting, so with a bit of practice I will be able to perfect that skill.
