Higher emphasis on Jazz Ballet and Classical, while merging with hip hop and afro beats. More collaboration between Natasha and Abigail to merge different genres together

Various sounds to be explored with the show damola_ososanya https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204797890 In addition we should also use the lyrics of the songs being sang to convey messages more often, for instance if a person is kicking their husband out and they sing beyonces irreplacable

Decisions in Era and Location will also be a determining factor in costumes dance and singing.

Different Eras however can be combined by looking at the generational effects of a fatherless household (if this is the theme we are going for]]> 2017-11-08 14:04:23 UTC https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204805837 For props we must decide whether we are taking a minimalist or maximum approach damola_ososanya https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204808842
A Minimalist approach will involve less larger props such as couches etc and more use of backdrops while a Maximun approach will involve use of larger and smaller props to create a whole set.

A minimalist approach will involve less volunteers and a smaller stage crew and also a smaller budget but will lead to limitations in production quality.

A maximum approach will require more volunteers, a larger stage setting, larger stage crew and larger budget but will also create a west-end production effect

Regardless of approach,  heads of each team (sing dance and act) should visit the venue at least four weeks before the show ot understand stage settings, for spacing requirements]]> 2017-11-08 14:09:09 UTC https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204808842 Minimalist approach damola_ososanya https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204811554 2017-11-08 14:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204811554 damola_ososanya https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204812040 2017-11-08 14:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204812040 Maximum Approach damola_ososanya https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204812272 2017-11-08 14:15:15 UTC https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204812272 damola_ososanya https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204813543 2017-11-08 14:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204813543 Planning : damola_ososanya https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204819321
Higher focus on planning ahead for all members of dream team especially, things like the size of the stage etc should be known by dream team members ages before the show, especially choreographers and band members for spacing requirements]]> 2017-11-08 14:26:15 UTC https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204819321 Budget : damola_ososanya https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204819933
A clear budget/estimated budget should be given before auditions even in order to understand what production costs can be afforded/not afforded]]> 2017-11-08 14:27:09 UTC https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204819933 Feedback : damola_ososanya https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204820395
This was done a lot during the last show, but individual feedback should also be emphasized here as different people had different things to work on (e.g Moni vs Haven) and were not aware of these things until feedback was given later on in the show]]> 2017-11-08 14:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204820395 Boundaries : damola_ososanya https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204821556
All team members were kind of guilty of this one last yeart. While remaining friendly I think we should establish a more professsional boundary between team and cast. (So that they dont come and start demanding nandos again lol)]]> 2017-11-08 14:29:20 UTC https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204821556 Transparency : damola_ososanya https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204822319
This is off the boundaries point, while maintaining boundaries we should also try to an extent to be transparent with the cast with regards to certain issues we face. If they are not aware of difficulties it actually makes it more difficult for them to appreciate efforts made by team members and also turns them into brats when things dont go as planned due to factors out of our control.]]> 2017-11-08 14:30:21 UTC https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204822319 Focus Areas : damola_ososanya https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204823434
Here I mean all departments should have focus on their areas. For instance if we are having a rehearsal and there is someone there from lighting and they do not feel like the aspect being rehearsed needs any specific lighting arrangments, they should still be doing something lighting related, like reading through the script and deciding on lighting for other scenes etc. ]]> 2017-11-08 14:31:53 UTC https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204823434 Volunteer process : damola_ososanya https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204825581
I actually believe it will be useful to have volunteers come in before the show, especially volunteers involved with props. This is so they familiarise themselves with what comes on in what scene and also are able to organise themselves prior to the day]]> 2017-11-08 14:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204825581 With regards to acting, we should also encourage the use of our dancers as background actors to convey a message. The example given below is a scene from Saro, where we can see dancers being used as actors as well. damola_ososanya https://padlet.com/damola_ososanya/8xlax602fvuo/wish/204827619
Essentially everyone present on stage at any given time should be acting
