Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / PROMPT BOOK: Viewpointing
« on: Apr 04, 2007, 08:13 pm »
I was wondering if anyone has dealt much with Viewpoints (if you don't know what viewpoints are, I recommend reading up a little on Anne Bogart and the SITI Company, really cool stuff).  I have my own blocking language, as does every SM, but there are a lot of very specific movements in the piece and I was wondering if anyone else has come up with a good way for notating this type of blocking.

Thanks,
Gina

Thanks Erin -

I was able to adapt my own, it worked out alright today and with some more tweaking I think it will work perferctly well for the rest of the rehearsal period.  As for performance reports, that's sort of what I expected, they did give me a list of what sort of information they are looking for, including most of the things you mentioned as well as audience response and demographics.  I will be able to use a template they have from the past and build from that.

Stage Management: Other / Opera Rehearsal Reports
« on: Jan 02, 2007, 09:58 pm »
I am tour managing an educational opera tour for the first time.  I was wondering if anyone has a rehearsal report form that is more specifically geared towards opera?  I have one that I've always used for straight theatre, but feel it isn't quite adequate.  Just wondering what might be different on an opera report.  Thanks.

Thanks Matthew, that's actually pretty helpful.  What I've done so far is make an outline that includes the following questions/headings:

Overall Goal
Specific Career Acheivement Goals, short and long term
Ways that I believe Grad School can aid me in these goals
Why I am choosing Grad school over just more professional experience

I am trying to find a way to show that grad. school is the right choice for me at this time, and not sound the same as the many many others . . .

I'm just not sure how long the Statement of Prof. Goals needs to be. I don't want to be too short, but I also don't like to ramble on needlessly just to fill up space.

KC - I think U/RTA's are a great way to go to hopefully be able to talk to a bunch of people at once, however my top two choices are actually not even going to be at the audition site I plan on attending!  Numbers one and two on my list (in no particular order) are Rutgers - Mason Gross School of the Arts, and Yale School of Drama.  Other than that, the only two programs I know much about and are apparently very good are University of Iowa (supposedly an EXCELLENT program, but probably not for me as I would prefer to be near a major theatre city, ie Philly, NYC, DC, Chi, etc) or University of California at Irvine.  If you'd like I'll follow up and let you know how the URTA process works out for me and what school I end up at.

College and Graduate Studies / URTA Applications
« on: Nov 24, 2006, 03:01 pm »
I am currently applying to URTA's, to hopefully begin an MFA program in the Fall of '07.  I need to get my common application packets out to the different schools THIS WEEK, and I'm hitting a frustrating mental block in trying to write my Statement of Professional Goals.  I also need to write, separately, a Letter of Interest, and attempt not to be redundant between the two.  Any thoughts, words of wisdom?  How long should it be, what should it entail, etc.   Any help in getting started would be greatly appreciated!!
