Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Re: ARTICLE: Stage Managers using a paperless process
« on: Oct 15, 2012, 12:12 am »
I still do the same paper work, but just being able to do it while at rehearsal and have it all on the same device makes it easier. Basically, I don't need to search for my paperwork. It is all in the same app and the easily accessible. During blocking, I can use the search feature to find the exact page/cue. For example, if the director asks, when in the script are the Indians removed, I just type in 'Indians removed' on the search feature and it pulls all references in my blocking script where I wrote that
True, working with the production staff is more difficult at times. But it just makes it easier for me because it is easier to do many things. Directors I have worked with have a tendency to change blocking a lot, so with the app, I can easily just tap on the piece of blocking and click edit, because I have the iPad at rehearsal. The seconds that I saved by deleting instead of erasing it, made it easier for me to write down the new blocking
For me personally, my iPad makes me more organized. I am not saying everyone should use it. SMing is an individual craft and everyone does things there own way
