The Hardline / Equity, transfering between countries

« on: May 03, 2009, 03:51 pm »

Hi

I will be finishing my Stage Management BFA degree next year and upon graduation I expect to have about 4 or 5 Equity apprenticeship credits from Canada.

My Fiance is from Europe and wants to immigrate to the UK once I am completed my schooling here and we are married. I want to be able to continue my career there as a Stage Manager, so my question is this:

Is it possible to transfer Canadian Equity Apprenticeship credits to UK credits, or will I need to start from square one?

Also, if I become a full Equity member here before we Immigrate, can I transfer my membership, or will I need to apprentice again?

Has anyone done this type of thing before?

Stage Management: Other / Inserted Dialogue in Opera

« on: Apr 30, 2008, 02:08 am »

I am Stage Managing my fist opera this summer and even though I took a short class on the subject in my Stage Management program at the University of Alberta I have ran into a problem already. I am working on "Die Fledermaus" which has dialogue between the songs. My Director wants to rewrite this dialogue, because we are using English and he does not like the translation given in the Dover score. However, I am beginning to work with my script now, since I know it is going to take me more then my prep week to do it, and I don't know what to do about the timings, since the dialogue is going to change. Also, there is no dialogue in the music I have to do the timings with

Any advice? Should I leave the dialogue out the timings since the time could change with the translation? But wouldn't that mess me up later on in the process? Your help is greatly appreciated.
