Blog 8: Research and Working EQ

EQ: What is the best way to optimize your stage for a scenic design competition?

  • An in depth planning meeting with the full production staff is very important and is the only way to start a successful production. What I mean by this is without the proper preparation you wouldn't have a budget to know what you can or can't build. You wouldn't know what the director wants, without his approval it wont be a happy place. Most of all you wouldn't even know who you're working with.

3.  What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ? 

The most important source is The Backstage Guide To Stage Management by Thomas A Kelly. Due to his first hand experience he stated some insight on what is needing to be discussed in the preparation stage of a production.

4.  Who is your mentor, or where are you volunteering, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?

Pete Scauber, is will be my mentor, he is associated with the Boston Court in Pasadena.  He is currently employed there as the technical director and I will be working with him learning making flats, platforms, set lights, focus light, run audio sight strengthening all the basic skills required for this position.
