  • Production Guide
    PRODUCTION GUIDE LIGHTING (as of APRIL 2020) It is the job of the Producer, in coordination with the Director, to find a Lighting Designer who will be responsible for all aspects of the lighting for a show. An appropriate Lighting Designer should have a good understanding of all equipment involved (including basic electrical knowledge and the ability to program the lighting board) and be able to work closely with the Director on artistic aspects of the design before and during the rehearsal period. Additional lighting crew may also be needed, at the discretion of the Designer. The Lighting Designer should communicate directly with the Producer to fill these roles as needed. Possible additional crew include: • one or more Board Operators • one or more Spot Operators • one or more assistants for hanging/focusing lights • one or more “stage walkers”. LIGHTING DESIGNER BEFORE REHEARSALS BEGIN: • Read the script and create a draft Lighting Plan of the show, paying attention to the time of day, the seasons and any special effects mentioned in the script. • Meet with the Director to review the draft Lighting Plan and discuss the Director’s intent for overall tone and how to support each scene with lighting. • Meet with the Production Team to solidify dates of: § Paper Tech § Dates/times to hang and focus lights that will not conflict with set work § Dry Tech § Costume Parade § Technical Rehearsal(s) § The earliest date appropriate to run partial lighting. THE PAPER TECH: • Before the Paper Tech: § Create a draft Cue List and a diagram of fixture positions, angles, and colours.

  • Production Manual to Determine and Understand the Adjacent and Overlapping Duties of Your Associates
    Southeast Missouri State University Department of Theatre & Dance Performance & Production Guidelines Explanation This manual is designed to be a reference for all members of a Production Team to explain and clarify the necessary production work expectations, duties and responsibilities of the various crews and crew head positions at Southeast Missouri State University. This manual's intent is to promote positive and constructive communication, while providing easily accessible information on how productions are mounted at Southeast Missouri State University. This manual does not preclude discussions with the faculty, staff, and student personnel responsible for the various production areas. Preface Theatrical productions are an example of live collaborative craft. A collaborative craft means simply that no one group or member of the production team is any more or less important, or carries the entire burden of the production. Each member of the production team has specific responsibilities and duties. Those duties, when executed with proper respect and communication, can lead to the ultimate theatrical goal of creating the best possible example of the theatrical craft. Southeast Missouri State University is an academic institution; therefore many aspects of production will be linked to course work for members of the Production Team. All members of the Production Team need to be aware that sharpening of the theatrical craft is the fundamental goal of academic production work. Mistakes, blunders, experimentation, and even failure, in terms of communication, budgets, schedules, experiments, etc., are all part of the educational system. Patience and respect for other individuals’ need to explore and learn for themselves is required of all members of the production team.

All participants will remain with the company until strike is completed. The selection of production staff is based upon the number of persons needed for the crews, the apparent ability of the students selected, and the variety of experiences they have had in production. The selection of the cast is based upon the particular acting demands made by a given script, the acting ability revealed in auditions, the needs of the individual student in terms of growth, present level of attainment, and performances as a responsible member of previous companies. All company assignments are tentative and any member may be reassigned or dismissed for cause at any time by the Director or the appropriate faculty supervisor. b. THE PRODUCTION TEAM CONCEPT i. In the Stone Theatre, there are no more important members of the company than those students selected by the faculty to serve as assistant directors, assistant designers, stage managers, and crew heads.

  • Technical Rehearsals As a Common Good from Stopgap
    Technical Rehearsals as a Common Good From Stopgap to Solution, a Case for Collective Action in Contemporary Performing Arts Technical Rehearsals as a Common Good From Stopgap to Solution, a Case for Collective Action in Contemporary Performing Arts LUMBERYARD Center for Film and Performing Arts October 3rd, 2019 01. ABSTRACT 02. INTRODUCTION 03. PROBLEM DEFINITION American Artists Lagging NYC Velocity Challenge 04. STOPGAP SOLUTION 05. FINDINGS Flexible Space Multidisciplinary Work Process Support Design and Technology in the Beginning Early Support/Early Commitment 06. SUMMARY/CHALLENGE 07. PROBLEM RECOGNITION 08. RECOMMENDATIONS 09. CALL TO ACTION 01 ABSTRACT The New York City performing arts presenting ecosystem is at a critical impasse. While technology has transformed artistic creation models and presenter capabilities, far too many artists are being left behind without the means to make work that matches the demand for artistic innovation. In response to this critical problem, LUMBERYARD (“LY”), a 501(c)3 non-profit, has studied this issue extensively and, in response, has created a program and facility designed to fill the critical gap facing American artists developing new work. Over the past eight years, LY has served as a technical rehearsal stopgap for over 60 productions bound for NYC. Our evidence-based recommendation for the entire performing arts ecosystem – artists, presenters and funders – is to redesign the current, outdated model with a new focus on streamlining and improving the artistic process to benefit the field as a whole. This shift requires an immediate, drastic influx and redistribution of investment, focusing primarily on how today’s artists make new work.
