So here is a question that has come up for me several times recently, and I am not really sure what the answer is.
Do you think that there is an artistic part of being a stage manager? I have always felt like there is a part of the job that requires some artistic sense, particularly in calling a show. Not in anything that affects design or acting, but something. Someone explained it to me once as 45% manager, 45% technician, and 10% artist.
What do you think?
Thanks!
