Amelia worked really hard to demonstrate the ways she was versatile with her jobs. Her organisation could be clearly seen whilst she was doing multiple jobs. She was very helpful during the actual performances when doing quick changes and she was very good at passing on messages to do with headshots and other details before the shows - Caitlin B

Amelia was confident and helpful as a stage manager, during the performances backstage she would make sure everyone was in their place and was organised. Therefore, it helped when staying calm between songs so there was no  running around in panic backstage not only worrying us but could also disturb the performance. I also had a quite a quick change when getting into my Glinda costume and Amelia was there with it laid out and helped me put my wig on, meaning I had time to get on my side of the stage and was calm before entering. Overall, I thought Amelia took on her role confidently and helped the show run smoothly and with ease. As well as this, she helped Corbyn take the headshots for the programme, where being organised was also key when setting the date for people to be ready and calling them in for the photos so it could be done efficiently. Also assisting Corbyn when adjusting the camera and the lighting in order to get the best quality out of the photos.

For example, in a scene set in a living room in the Victorian era the prop designer would have to match the props to the set designer’s choice of color and fabrics. An example of this would be the walls in the living room which could be old polished oak wood so the prop designer would have to think about what color the sofas fabric would so there are no clashing colors and it all looks real.

Bios include the name of the performer, age, who they are playing, were they have trained or are currently training and what other shows they have been involved with. Bios are very important as they tell an audience a significant and personal thing about each performer. Usually a bios would sit under or next to a headshot.

Usually, the running order will be attached to a program and performers will also be able to have copies of running orders during the show and rehearal to help them with when they have to be backstage, on stage, off stage and waiting in the wings. This is the running order I made to keep in my dressing room so I was always aware when I needed to be on, off or in the wings, and this was also used for me to support my peers.

For my stage manager research I chose a stage manager from my favourite musical Wicked, the stage manager of  Wicked in Broadway is Marybeth Abel. There is so much to this musical from performers, the vocals to the costumes this production is manic and huge with so much depth to it. Marybeth has been professionally and successfully employed for 30 years. Highlights of her Broadway career include Wicked, Cyrano De Bergerac, Sweet Charity and many more hghly populer shows.
This video I have attached really helped me get a good look into what its like being a production stage manager within a broadway/west end show and all the key tools and skills you need within. One of Marybeth key roles within her job is to make sure eveything is consistent and maintained by this I mean things are running smoothly for example rehearsals, quick changes, warmups, lighting, sound and that the performers are on top form and also looking over all the artist aspects of the overall productions. Marybeth also works very closy with the preduaction superviser Tom Witman. Tom's role and job is very similar he has to make sure the cast of Wicked look, sound and are Wicked ready for an audience. He also has to make sure the set fits perfectly for each troing new vene as not one tehater is ever the same. Overall the most impornt role other than the dircetor is the stage manger. One of Marybeth roles is to call the cues so lighting and sound cues so she can coordinate this with the set movement and prop movement then the score and the conductor and lighting so that everything happens together and works and flows. Being a stage manager is a lot of responsibility there is so much you have to take on and think about theres no time for rest you have to be disciplined and on it all the time. Marybeths talks about working with particular scenes for example in the show there's a scene were elphba and glinda have a slap / fight scene were they will stage slap each other its Marys job to go over this scene and make it look smooth before the show also when and understaudy or swing has to go on this is one of the scenes they must go over before the performance in case of any mishaps. Some weekly responsibilities she takes on are watching the show making sure everything running nicely and blocking is flowing, consulting with musical directors and dance captains on a daily basis and doing and sorting out all the paperwork.

Roles Within Are Production For are February Cabaret Show

# data[].attributes.body
All of the below are all the roles me and my peers were given to take on for are February show case.

Performing Role

Musical Theatre Performer - a musical theatre performers role is all about being a triple threat, someone who can sing, act and dance/move. A musical theatre performer is required to learn songs, lyrics, harmonies and apply acting to songs and also movement as well as characterisation and expression, most importantly, applying the correct technique. Musical theatre performers must be physical fit and also love what they do to be able to give 100% into every single show they do. Overall musical theatre performer's have a very big job and a lot of area to cover for an overall performance. Everyone in musical theatre level 3 show took on this role whether it was in the ensemble or having a solo number or dance number. I also took on the role of having my own solo number which was "the life I never led" from the musical Sister Act. This was another incredible opportunity which I will forever be so grateful for. It has taught me so mush more about being a performer. It also helped my role as stage manager, because I had a solo I had to know the running order and what stage I enter and exit, and when I exit how I get to the next number this helped me help other were to be when I was performing. It also taught me about responsibility most importantly how I only have myself to rely on stage. As for my performing role I took ownership of learning my lines, harmonies and movement for each number. Also for my solo I had to take the responsibility of learning entrances, exits and my movement through my solo number and also the use of my prop (a bible). I had to take on board all of this as well as all the other group numbers as well as my role as stage manager.

Practical Roles

Vocal Coach - A vocal coaches job working in a theatre company, is to ensure that every single actor is completely warmed up before shows and rehearsals. They have to make sure every actor is warmed up to their maximum ability, for example, a soprano will need to warm up their higher register were as an a lot will most likely need to warm up their vocal register, so lower. Also vocal coaches have to make sure they are doing exercises to help with, breath placemant, belt, range, vocal control and quality, diction and clarity. They have a lot to think about and their job is very important.
The vocal coaches assigned for our show are Catline Nun, Liv and Alix. They lead are vocal warm ups during rehearsals and show days, I wrote up Caitlines peer feedback as we are each others peer assessors.
My peer feedback to Caitlin Nunn
Caitlin’s role as vocal coach helped me not only be 100% ready for a rehearsal / show but also with my confidence, knowing I had warmed up all the parts of my vocal range from my top range to my middle and my lower, as well as all of my vocal articulators meaning my soft pallet, hard pallet, lips, mouth, tongue, jaw, teeth & my velum. I felt like Caitlin did an amazing job at engaging with her peers during her warm ups. Caitlin consistently accommodated everybody’s needs, for example she would ask everyone if they felt warm and if they wanted to do some more exercises to get a bit more warmed up and if so what would they like to do in order to be more warmed up, which to me is such an amazing skill as it shows she is willing to go the extra mile to make sure everyone is happy and comfortable & most importantly completely warmed up vocally. Some of the exercises Caitlin did during her vocals were lip trills, scales, tongue twisters, stretching, belt & working on our vowels and overall vocal articulation. After Caitlin’s warm ups I felt warm and ready to have an amazing rehearsal/ show and I have confidence that my voice was warmed up properly and ready to sing.

Dance Captain - The dance captains are again a huge role within a production this is because within a show as a musical theatre performer you have to be one, physical fit and two, you also have to be physically warmed up for dance calls and number in shows and rehearsals. A dance captain is someone who will lead and take on physical warm ups and to ensure all cast members are warm, stretched and ready to perform without getting injured. The dance captains are also there to help out with any problems with movement or choreography. The dance captains assigned are Holly and Catline Babcock, who lead our physicals for us. As our show isn't the movemnt dnacy show for most of our warm ups we did a little bit of cardio with lots of stretching to get not only physically but also mentally prepared for the show.

Production roles

Costume designer -A costume designer working in performing arts industry involed in a show is responsible for the appearance of actors and characters. Costume designers are the professionals that are responsible for designing and creating costumes for characters in productions like musicals and plays. Like makeup artists, the costume designers must make sure that the clothing made must fit the era, situation and personality of that character and show. Costume designers use a variety of different fabrics to create one costume. These must be fitted perfectly proportioned to the actor so they are comfortable when on stage performing, they must be able to sing, dance and act in them with no problems or malfunction.
Costume Desinger / mistress is someone who sorts out all the costumes including props and weeks for the actors on stage depending on how high up the question mistresses are some of the more not take on the role of weeks as that is for the week Masters to do and sometimes props obviously that’s for the prop makers to sort out. The role of cotsume mistress was given to Abi. I worked along side Abi with Corybn helping with sorting and getting all the costumes together from the costume cupboard. Abi's job was to make sure everyone had something to wear which was suitable for our show and also comfortable. She also had the job of ordering wigs and costumes we needed but didn't have at college.

Administrator roles

Stage manger - Stage management requires a general understanding of all aspects of production and offers organisational support to ensure the process runs smoothly and efficiently. In finer words a stage manager is the core of backstage and overall performance because they are in charge of cast members as well as running order, registers and liasing with the tutors and tech guys, for what is needed when and if any changes need to be done. The stage manager is also in charge of sorting out and making sure everyone is calm collective and where they’re supposed to be all times the stage manager is in charge of making sure people know that exit to the entrances, helping peers out and making sure that once the shows are over the changing rooms all cleared out making sure everything is locked up making sure that the studios and theatre are left in a good condition, nice and tidy making sure no props have been damaged or costumes and also having a register to make sure all the actors and everyone have signed in for the day or the rehearsal and the show. This Role was given to myself and Corbyn.

Marketing -The role of someone who is a marketing director manager in the performing arts industry involved in a show is to make people aware of their shows in the present and future, this includes creating artwork creating leaflets and posters paying for adverts in media to promote the jobs. They are also in charge of selling merchandise to get more money for the production company selling things like t-shirts, mugs, bags, and so much more.
Within the marketing team there is so much to think about we have poster and program designer, bios for each of the performers, headshots, projection photos, box office, running order and stage manger.
The marketing team consists of Emily and Emma. Marketing have a big job they are the people who will promote and also design programs and posters to promote the show and Galluppi audiences to watch to make money intentionally for the show marketing aspect inside for the show is very important as without marketing there is no way of promotion. There is no way of programs being designed and also the organisation of the show as marketing will also help with the performance marketing side and how to encourage the performers and the performances as a whole to be put out there. Emma and Emily both worked on dates and admin for when everyone needed to give there, bios and headshots required so Emily, who is designing the program can put them into the finished design.

Program designer- The program designer is a role which is in charge of designing the program for the performance using different graphics info and styles through digital use to create a readable and exciting program. They will be required to sort out programs and make sure that the marketing team have programs and also can promote the programs. The designers are a big contributor to the marketing team as the program is usually one of the first things you tend bio pick up at the theatre and you can see production as me having a program is on the most important things because I love to look and read through the musical history. How the production was created, who the actors are and what school they were trained at. With me, music was the something that really got me interested in the performing arts industry. Looking at a program it was so in-depth and exciting, I love reading them and also keeping them as souvenir which I find it such a humble gift to take with you specially from saying that production having a program with you from that night so special and is definitely a big element of a show.

Preparation for my job role the week of the 6th of December
In order for me to prepare for my role as stage manager I started by emailing and liasing with my tour on timeline of rehearsal dates for headshots creating a list of every student. The reason I did this is so I could start to make a final check list, registers & times / days we would need for the whole overall rehearsal and show schedule. I sorted out lots of different lists and organisng with Corybn when we could take headshots images and we also spent some time messaging and communicating with our peers when we had decided on a date and a time. We decided to sort the headshots out on the 16th of December, start time at 9.15am on Tuesday 2021, so we sent out everyone the date/time and what we wanted them to wear. We arranged all of the above in a meeting between me and Corybn the other stage manager and my chores were added to the organisation in my own personal study to help support me with my job role. My overall prep for my role as stage manger was organising and sorting with my tutors and peers, I found this has improved my communication skills as I have been very involved with the process and peers.

Rehearsals my contribution within my job role -
My contribution during most of the rehearsals was giving people help and also my tutors help, with anything from checking lists to see if people were off sick, to helping my peers with directions back stage and where everyone is meant to be. I also helped by doing my own personal support by remembering were everyone is in each song so all the ensemble group numbers take me to heaven, bui doi, you will be found, loathing, both reached for the gun so that when it came to rehearsals and show day, if people were missing I could say where they were to help support my team and also my other peers with re-spacing and also entrances and exits. For example, if somebody was orginally in take me to heaven on stage right and where re-spaced to stage left but weren't sure were they would be entering and exiting the stage from, I would be able to help them with their entrance and exit information. Another example where I helped, was to include in the sessions in Dear Evan Handson you will be found there's a couple of words within the song that people kept forgetting and saying something else for example " if you only say the word" people would be singing if you only say the words", I brought this up during one of our rehearsals so people could correct themselves to get it right. Also at the beginning of "you will be found" we firstly as on ensemble start by singing " and ohoh someone will come running" but during the rehearsals in January our singing tutor decided to cut the "and" out as it sounded a bit pitchy and people weren't all coming in together at the some time. So we then changed it to just "ohoh" but in some rehearsals people would still be singing the "and" so I contributed to the lesson and rehearsal so that everyone remembers there is no "and". Another thing that I contributed during dress runs and also rehearsals and shows was giving people help with are bui doi note. Corybn would play the note in the leacher theatre before we went onto the stage as it accapela so behind the wings I would quickly go over the note to my line so that everyone was comfortable and they knew what note we started on. With my solo I took the responsibility of learning my lines and movement also my cues, entrances and exits and most importantly my quick change and how I was going to do my quick change. This was arranged by me chatting to Caitline B also was also doing the same solo in cast B, so we sorted out that we would help each other get ready and changed for our solo with time to spare. I also sorted out with one of the level 2s Keria if she would be able to help me, which she did so for my quick change as a team we worked together to get me ready for my solo so I wasn't late on stage and vise versa,  I did the same when Caitline was doing the solo.
What I learnt is that communication and organisation is key to succeeding in a role as a stage manager. As well as helping my peers, having my own solo and performing in numbers, I have gained the skills of being productive and always ready for anything. I also make sure I know exactly were I need to be at all times and what I need to do. It has taught me that planning ahead is crucial, and most importantly helping others .

Headshot Day dates - 16th of December 2021 -
My role of stage managing has so far been very enjoyable. Another role I took in order to contribute to my stage manger role was being in charge and sorting out everyones headshots. Working alongside Corybn, one of my class mates, we started by organising what jobs we would take on, by this I mean I took the organising side and Corybn took the role of using the camera and tech side. I started by organising and liasing with my tutor to create a register and list of every year 1 and year 2 as well as the HNC student and Level 2 students.
We started by sorting out the room we were going to take the photos in, we chose the room F, as the lighting was perfect and also we were able to have the effect of a spot light. We asked everyone to wear smart black dress wear, which for girls is a black dress tanned fishnet tights, hair sway from the face, full face of stage makeup, and black new Yorker (charter shoes). Then for the boys, black dress trousers and shirt with black shoes. We arranged a room and a date which was Tuesday the 16th of December. Everyone came in and me and Corybn started by setting up the room we had. Luke who works in tech, came along and helped us set up the lighting and showed us how to use the lighting and change it accordingly to how we wanted it to look. Corybn set up his camera, then I was the test model. We started by taking some photos just to see what the right lighting would be for the best outcome. Then we started bringing in students by the register, I bought two people in at a time and we started posing. I was sorting around postures and getting people in the right position so that the camera angle was correct. Then, once we got into a bit of a rhythm and the photos started to improve, we started to take on group photos of all of us. We managed to get everyone done in the morning which was a brilliant effort!  I have a lot of photos showing the lighting set up and including some people and some students in the positions they were taking the photos and including from the group photos. I also have the register I put together for the organisation of the morning to make sure that everyone got a headshot, and no-one was forgotten. It also made sure we got all the photos we needed. I was able to see from this that a couple of students were missing due to illness or holidays, therefore we will have to take them again in a couple of weeks. Everyone gets a featured head shots in the program, underneath is everyone’s biog so that when the audience see their headshot they have the little biog and can see what parts they are playing.  It's also important because as a lot of second years one being me, auditioning for drama schools and for higher education some of us actually require head shots for some auditions and to put on applications so I actually did end up using my headshot for one of my applications which I sent off. I’m very grateful for this because it’s really helped me with obviously my applications outside College. Overall taking the headshots was a really fun experience and I loved it. I really enjoyed it and I learnt a lot from it. I learnt a lot of technical things and also just what it feels like to be in charge for a whole morning and get the outcome we wanted.

Helping With The Costumes friday The 7th of January 2021 - helping Abi with Costumes -
Another role I did, which supported me and my job as stage manager which me and Corbyn did alongside Abi, who had the job role of the costume mistress. We went up to the costume cupboard on Friday the 7th of Jan to help sort out and find all the costumes. This was a big job in itself as we needed to count all the costumes and then take out the amount we needed for our show. Abis job was to write a report about all the costumes we had and used. This is were my job role came in handy as I had a register everybody's name and how many students there were including me Corybn and Abi. This way we knew how many we needed to take out from each costume box. The costumes we took out were the nun outfits all the weeks for characters like rocks say heart for Chicago, Elphaba for Wicked, Galinda for Wicked. We got the notebooks for both rich for the gun and the trenchcoats we also collected some hairnets and some jackets for second characters and also the dresses for the hot any rag girls. This was a really fun experience because we got to see all the different costumes in the costume cupboard from shows that they’ve done in the past. I really enjoyed it because I also love the whole aspect of costume design and all the characters with the different outfits and I just really liked it, it was a very different experience.

1st of February & 2nd of February 2022 Show Days -
Over the two show days, my role included organising and helping cast members. I mainly helped the cast members with quick changes which involved getting Caitline B into her nun outfit for her solo which required me to help put on her nun dress, socks, jazz shoes and habit and also add grips to the head piece. I helped Caitline N with her Roxy wig and head piece and also helped pin everything in place as well as sorting out her mic for her. We did this for every show and when she was on for galinda I did the same. I also helped Liv and Fraya both get ready for there Elphaba solos. This meant applying green face paint to their face and hands. I really enjoyed helping everyone out. I would definitely say it was very manic because not only was I helping out I was also getting ready for my solo and the show numbers too. I also made sure all the changing rooms were always tidy and not only my bits and bobs but everyones things were all in their place so no one lost anything. I hanged most of my costumes up on the railings so I knew and could see everything was in its correct place. I also helped out by closing up on the last show and I made sure we left both the changing rooms and theatre clean before we left.

My overview of my creative job role
Furthermore, in conclusion to this I had a great time learning to be "in charge". I really enjoyed being able to help people, I would say this job role really suited me, as I was able to use my organisational skills, something I do in my day to day life. I enjoy making notes and lists so I found this aspect really enjoyable,  as I spent time sorting out notes and making registers and checklists which I have linked onto my pad.
I also learnt a lot whilst organising the headshots, as I found out how to use the lighting, work the lighting box as well as camera and positions. Overall I have learnt so much and have taken away lots of my new skills, like being on it and able to always making sure people are happy and know where they need to be. I enjoyed being able to do this, I created a little running order on my phone of the numbers within the show and had it on are dressing table so we could keep checking what number was next. This was mostly helpful during are first couple of dress runs. In conclusion I have taken these new skills and will continue to develop these even further for the next shows to come.

Contingency plan
For my job role there was a couple of times we’re we had to sort out a plan of action and organise everything as explained within my log book. For example we had a couple of students who were absent on the first Tuesday when we took everyone’s headshots meaning we would have to reschedule and organise time for them to get them done this also meant they wouldn’t be in the group shots.We had decided and debated we could re shoot the group shots but came to the conclusion that we wouldn’t have enough time as we needed  that  time for rehearsals as the show was coming up. So me and corybn discuss with Suz’s when we could shoot these people who missed the Tuesday
we sorted out a date and let them no via text message, we managed to get them taken in a lunch brake so it wasn’t disrupting are lesson time.
Me and corybn had many meetings with Luke are tec guy about the lights and how to get good headshots also how to use the lighting queues and how to organise and work backstage this really helped me with all my notes and sheets I made. It also helped me and corbyn with helping others for quick changes and double casting and knowing who was performing on what day. We had to have double casting due to covid we did this because it made it easier if someone got sick or tested positive we allways had a back up furthermore this really helped me with my job role when I wasn’t performing as I was double casted it meant I could do my job role of the shows I wasn’t performing.

H20 is a document of my roles within my colleges February show case. Within the showcase and as well as having to take part in the show and performing we also have to take on different roles. For example, the roles consist of vocal coach, dance captain, marking etc. The role I have been given is stage management, I will also be in charge of sorting out the headshot photography for all students and working with the marketing team.
I will be keeping a record of everything I do which involves my role in this document which I will be updating my logbook when I have taken my role on and when I have done certain things for my role.
In my role as a stage manager, most of my work will be involved with the running of the production during the show. So, for the time being I'm working on some head shots with Corbyn who will be taking the photos and I’ll be sorting out and liaising as the organiser and sorting out registers and making sure everyone’s got them. I'll also make sure everyone has them once they have been sent out. This will include being in charge of editing and sorting out all the photos and then when it comes to the actual show. That’s where my role will really begin to start, as I will be in charge of making sure everyone is on time to rehearse and no one is late. If somebody is late I'll need to know where they are as they can contact me and the tutors.
Another part of my role will be in charge of making sure all the changing rooms and the lecture theatre are completely cleaned after the shows have finished and also completely organised for everyone’s costumes beforehand, I’ll also be liaising with Abi as well.
My role is very important to the running of the show, making sure all the little bits and bobs to do with my job are completed, so the show can run smoothly. I’m very excited to have this responsibility as a stage manager, and realise that the job role will become very demanding when the show begins.

I have been given the role of stage manager, which is a lovey confidence boost, as this role requires a lot of resoponsibility. Stage management covers a lot of different aspects that is generally defined as the organisation and coordination of an event or theatrical production. Stage management takes on a variety of activities including the overseeing of the rehearsal process and coordinating communications. Stage management requires a general understanding of all aspects of production and offers organisational support to ensure the process runs smoothly and efficiently. In other words I will be in charge of making sure everyone knows when they are needed for rehearsals, shows, exits and entrances of the stage and theatre. I will also be in charge of making sure everything is left correctly by this I mean the changing rooms and any practice rooms have been cleaned after the shows. My job will require me to make sure everything is organised. I will also be taking on the job of sorting out headshots with Corbyn, we are in charge of getting all the first second and level 2 and HNC student headshots sorted for the program.
To help me in my role, I will be making a register of all the students and have a organised a tick list I can use when it comes to shows and rehearsals. When it comes closer to show time I will have a running order of everyones entrances, exits and stage position which I will make and give as a handout to each cast member to make sure everyone knows were they are supposed to be at all times.
Furthermore, I can't wait to take on this role and I am excited to see how well I can cope with this and how i deal with working backstage.
