Students and Novice Stage Managers / Observational Awareness Training?
« on: Dec 09, 2011, 02:42 pm »
Hey all,
I need to work on my observational skills when it comes to details - when watching performances, a lot of times something will look weird (a light brighter than usual, a set piece oriented the wrong way, etc.) but I doubt myself because I won't be able to remember for sure what it is supposed to look like. So either I won't include it in Notes because I'm not sure whether I'm correct, or I'll mention it and I'll be told that's how it always has been.
Beyond just paying more attention to the details, do you guys have any recommended exercises or training for cultivating that skill?
