Stage Management Project

This module offers a detailed study of the concepts and technical aspects of stage management. Lectures and practical workshops will typically cover topics such as: rehearsal support and delivery, the DSM - creating the prompt book, operating the prompt desk, and cueing; the role of the SM team in tech week; prop sourcing, props paperwork and the creation of cue/ tracking sheets and setting lists. There will be a series of practical prop making sessions to introduce a range of materials and methods, and the importance of diligent research and visual reference as well as prop maintenance. Practical sessions may well include small-scale laboratory type experience, collaborating with other disciplines within LIPA. The role of the production manager will be covered to engage students with the broader context of stage management and managing and facilitating the production process. Likewise, event planning will be examined to expand knowledge of the infrastructural and planning needs of performance, supported by site visits. Areas covered will include the technical, legal, and creative requirements affecting performance venues and found spaces.
