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

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.

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!!
