Stage Management: Other / Re: Newbie! SM for a Circus performance

oh its alright now. they were wondering why i wasnt backstage and I told them it was because i needed to see it...(sooooo many visual cues) there was then some general mumbling of getting a video link but it never came about (knew it wouldnt) the basically wanted me backstage to wrangle the kids and make sure they got on in time...hello!!!! they should know their bloody cues by now!!!(they do now by the way....)

i had some help from my brother since he is the lighting designer on this one....(he sort of pimped me....he had his job and the circus mentioned they had no SM and my bro said "my sister is an SM....so i got a job!!!) yeah so he made me see they were being stressed out themselves. so now we have done 4shows....2 good...one 'meh' and one AWFUL....1st show incidentally...the shows have got better. there have been quite a few mistakes and drops but thats to be expected when its children performing.

the adults in it are great. there is a gorgeous silks act!!!

anyway...its all fandabbydosey now!

thanks anway chacha!

Hiya,

I'm new here and quite new to SM-ing. I've done some Stage management in Uni but this is my first time professionaly. My first show is a performance by a Circus School, and I just wondered is there anything that i would need to know that is very specific to circus performances, as with regards to stage managing. We never covered circus performances in Uni   

Just wanted to ask you all since you are all so knowledgable!
