Week 5 of this course unfortunately due to family
circumstances I could not turn up, therefore someone took over my role for a
week which meant unfortunately rehearsal notes weren’t typed up.
Week 6 I was trying to find my feet again. I came in early
to catch up and get up to speed having missed a week. This followed on to a meeting
with Dave to catch up and then into the usual rehearsal process. I briefly
helped out in the workshop but as such didn’t have much time before rehearsal. During
the rehearsal I carried all the space, this week the focus was on staging and running
slick scene changes.
Week 7, this week I came in early, having spent the morning
starting to block the script for rehearsal purposes, especially when I am not
there the director can use it to reference, I wasn’t able to get into the
workshop to work on set. Rehearsal was slightly interrupted due to costume
workshops at the adjoining theatre we are working with. Admittedly it was fun
as I joined in with the active warm up!
Week 8 was a very busy week, turning up early, I went straight
into the workshop to help Ayan with the set. Admittedly there wasn’t much I could
help with but nonetheless I wanted to help. Afterwards I had to leave for lunch
and then rehearsal, all the set was left in the workshop though as there was
still work that needed doing and also it couldn’t fit through all the doors
into the mirror room. The scenes were split up and therefore there weren’t many
notes to report back. Additionally, this week in the meeting I led it as the SM
was absent.
With regards to the lighting SM dropping out, if needed I shall
be stepping up to make sure the show runs accordingly assisting the sound SM on
the night of rehearsal. The minutes and rehearsal reports over week 6 and 7 and
for the 3rd and 4th week of this course I was quick to
the mark in getting them uploaded and sent round to the crew. Unfortunately, in
week 8 I had other commitments over the weekend that meant I couldn’t upload
until the following Monday. Having noticed my errors and the effect it has on
the crew not being updated I will make a conscious effort to ensure this doesn’t
happen again. Dave sent me feedback over weeks 3 and 4 which I feel I paid
attention to and adhered to since receiving the notes in which I can improve.
In my opinion I have been good with timekeeping with a few
late arrivals early on in the course, since then I ensured I was in even if it
meant I could get on with DSM work individually and be at hand if needed, I feel
this has helped as on a few occasions I have been asked to assist. For example
week 6 I was called into the workshop for just under an hour before rehearsal
to assist with wood cutting as it wasn’t a job to be done alone.
