WEEK 12 (Silence in the Wings)

This week I began to research more on my role for silence in the wings which is the DSM. I joined a call with my classmates Emma and Liz who are both year 2's and have experience with being a stage manager. They were both really helpful and I gained a lot of information and advice from them which I took notes and wrote down everything I needed to know. It was nice to discuss with them about the stage manager role because they were once in my position too.

This made me feel more confident on my knowledge of a stage manager and I don't feel anxious or worried about taking on the role.

I was assigned to watch a useful video on immersive theatre and I learned a lot from the video and also took notes on what is immersive theatre, what is its aim and how is it done.

In Thursdays session, year 1 was assigned to join a call with Christine who we will be joining every Thursday for weekly sessions to build our confidence for performance. Before joining the call I didn't know what to expect but I soon felt comfortable and the session was really good fun. We all introduced what we wanted from the sessions in which I said I want to get to know my group better and get talking to everyone a bit more. This made me feel a lot more confident to speak openly with my group and I'm looking forward to next weeks session.

During the second session as a group we made a mind map discussing all of the roles and what they're role would be doing in the performance. Emma and Amy sent me over some questions to answer as the DSM for the perfomance, I noted the answers down as a script. I feel confident about being a DSM for the performance because I understand the role. I hope to continue to gain more confidence each week leading up to filming week.
