Wednesday 30th April - Mega Meeting Day!!!

Today we had like 7 meetings!

Well, not literally! The started the day off with a Techie Chat, where we spoke about all the things we wanted to talk about in the production meeting later on in the day with the director.

Then spoke to Sarah (our production manager) about my job roles and what exactly it is I shall be doing. (Will post up my first draft of my job description tomorrow)

I then spent the afternoon finishing off my props list ready to have a meeting with the director about which props he requires, and which he requires as rehearsal props etc and which props I can make myself. Need to look into doing some hand embroidery, I have had a look on www.UrbanThreads.com already to get some ideas about one of the props I need to create.

Here is my semi-completed props list:

Props List - Blood Wedding

Also had a meeting with Emma and Cece to discuss costume designs, make-up, effects, sourcing and making. The costume brief sent to us by the director:

Costume Brief (Written by Alisdair-Director)

We then had our production meeting and discussed with the director everything we had previously discussed during the day.

I also gave Greg (my first year minion) the task of finding 8 glasses and 2 trays for rehearsal purposes. I have given him until Friday the 2nd May in which to do this, so the items can be ready and in the rehearsal room for rehearsals to start back on Tuesday morning.

Here are the minutes from our production meeting:

I have a deadline to send my job description to Sarah for proofing for noon tomorrow (1/5/2014).

Monday 28th April - First Day!!

Today we all attended an initial read through of the play. It was great to see the cast and hear them read each character, and also meet the director and get a feel of his artistic intention for the piece.

Emma and I measured each member of the cast for costumes after the read through. Also, met the new tutor who is marking us who I'd never met before!
