Hi All,
I am a junior in my theatre department, and I have recently been struck by the desire to have a recording of my calling of a show before I graduate. Designers are able to have production photos for their portfolios, and I think it would be something really interesting to have in an SM digital portfolio or on a website. I've also created my own workshops on stage management that I teach to junior high and high school students at a theatre academy in my state, Louisiana, and I think it would be a lot of fun if at my next workshop I could let them hear what it sounds like to call cues. I enlisted one of my professors, and his response is for me to research it and bring my suggestions/ideas to him, and then we can discuss it further (one of those great teaching moments, I'm sure--reminds me of when my mom would tell me to "look it up" when I asked what a word meant). I must admit I don't have a great depth of knowledge when it comes to recording and I'm not coming up with a lot on the internet that I feel I can adequately explain as something we can pull off with our department's resources. Has anyone out there ever done something like this? If so, how did you do it? Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated!
