Theatre Director:

The theatre director is a director who is the leader of the show that they are making to perform to their audiences.

The director guides their actors for the way they have to perform. Making sure they know how to perform properly for the show so they don't make mistakes and the show goes awful. Also interpret the scripts and shape the artistic vision so the actors to help them remember for what they have to say in the show as they perform in the show and brings up creativity ideas like no one has ever seeing before for the actors to try and perform in the show. The Directors collaborate with the designers. and with the producers Thinking of how to create the backgrounds, the dresses and face paints with make-up. With the producers the directors communicate with them thinking of how the sound should be like in the show while the performances perform.

The Theatre Director Skills:

Being a leadership

Communication

Being Creative

Understanding every deep and simple thing in the Theatre

Lighting & Sound Engineer

The light and sound engineer is a professional technician responsible for design,setup and productions for live performances.

The lighting engineer designs light effects and mood by using light to create visual impacts using tools colours filters moving lights and so many other things to represent the story is describe as it is made by the director. For the mood light has a powerful influence for how the audience feels.

By telling a romantic or scary or warm story.

Stage Manager

Stage manager is the logistical and technical coordination of a theatre production. The Stage Manager organises rehearsals and schedules by planning times for the actors musicians and the technical crew and collaborate with the director what scenes or section will be rehearsed in each days. The stage manager makes sure the performances goes great and they are focus for performing while practising. Also the stage manager passes on message like a vice principal making sure everyone knows what the director says about the performing if anything needs to be change anything else aswell and lastly the stage manager handles everything in the backstage everything just like the director.

What I learn from the video is that a theatre director’s job is to supervise and mount a production by uniting multiple aspects, endeavours and people. Directors collaborates with the creative designer's on-stage actors and other production team's member. And, for writing scrips the directors work the playwright.  Usually the director begins with the scrips by reading closely and taking notes. They search the themes of the play, heart of the story, symbolism and more to create an overarching concept.  For callback audition the director observe multiple actors to see who fits the best roles and the chemistry cast as a whole. After the cast has been selected the director begins rehearsals process and gives the actors their blocking and works with them to enhance their characterization. A stage manager is a director right hand person, and their job is to provide organization communication and practical support to the director cast and technical team through the pre-production and rehearsals process. During the show the stage manager supervises everything on stage and backstage.

Rvssian does not typically perform live music on stage for people.

Glorilla is my favourite musician the same as Cardi b.

She sang with Cardi b. It's a live show where you can hear her from a microphone and her music beats instrumental playing.

What happens in the live performance is that Glorilla shows herself with a bike and greets her audience.

She has background dancers and she follows the beat perfectly while rapping her song. While she raps her dancers carry her up and the light flashes on her.

The audience is screaming dancing and cheering for her enjoying her song. Later on as Cardi b shows up with a car everyone screams loud as they are so happy to see her and her voice. As Cardi B she raps as loud as she can and enjoys herself with Glorilla on the stage. And as Glorrila and Cardi b dance with the dancers the producer plays a background voice of Glorilla rapping her song whenever she dances with the dancers.

Glorilla and Cardi B are matching outfit styles but with diffrent colour . There are landscape graphic vision which says Tomorrow 2 and Cardi by name.

Rema talks to the audience making sure they enjoying his concert.

The audience sings with him as well. he has dancers with him.

For the first round he singing his songs it goes easy and quit calm for the second round he brings hot energy and light up fireworks and fire.

As the second it goes Rema brings hot energy around light up fire use fireworks all around him and the beat sounds quit diffrent than before using diffrent types of samplers. everywhere around him is smell with smoke. And stand on a rock dancing all round the rock with all his energic body being very hyper and enjoing himself.

His audience are lighting up phones taking videos and pictures of his show.

In performance they play instruments or sing. Their responsibilities are prepration, performance quality or health and safety and so many other things. To make their audience cheer they use their confident and passion.

The healthy and safety is important in the music industry because it involves a wide range of environments activities and risks

from live performances and event production studio. The reasons are for Protecting People, Long-Term Healthy and Wellbeing, Emergency Preparedness and Audience and Public Safety

Protecting People: Musicians and Audience Members face risk for making loud noise, heavy equipment, electrical hazards which cause problem and cause injuries or accidents. Like the crew members they often move heavy equipment or build stages and if they don't do they safety way they can get injured or have a accident which not healthy and safety.

Long-Term Healthy and Wellbeing: Some industry professionals has health issues from poor working conditions and it's about protecting the their physical and mental health.

Emergency Preparedness: Whenever there is accidents or emergency the staff comes with a safety and healthy plan quick as they can . They take the responsibility for the accident and the audience members let them know what to do while there is a accident or emergency. They safes lives for people.

Audience and Public Safety: Makes sure that fans, concert-goers, and visitors at music events are kept safe from harm whether at concerts, festivals, clubs, or outdoor gigs. That's the reason why they also have securities everywhere.

6 Examples of potential health and safety risks:

1. Slips and Falls: When cables are messed all around the floors, people can get trip and injured their selves and the cables can get broke and tangle. So the cables has to be arrange properly and be kept in one place.

2. Fire safety Risks: Stage light and electrical faults can cause fire. Keep fire exits clear so during the concert rehearsals or studio everyone can get out fast as they can from they place where they are and there want be any accident for them.

3. Hearing Loss: They should wear headphones and while wearing headphones they should reduce the volume so they won't have any problem of hearing and also take some breaks from loud environments.

4. Stress: People should not work for like over 3hr because of their mental health. They should have some rest, relax their brain. They should exercise and eat healthy food aswell. while working they need support from people and their team.

5. Electrical Hazards: Keep liquids stuff away from the electricity equipment. It causes damage and cost more money for use to get the equipment again. We got to becareful we can get electrical shocks. WE got to stay away from electricity so we don't get injured or accident.

6. Manual Handling: Whenever we carry heavy equipment from studio or tour we need trolly with use. We can't carry the heavy equipment on our hands it causes accidents and injuries for use and it's not safe to do that.

   If there is no trolly we can use lift as well and we need people to help us, we can't do it by ourselves.

Good Mental And Physical health is important in music industry because of the work people does and it damaging and gives them stress. Needs to focus all the time on their work they do and don't have time to visit friends or spend time with their family. And as they have stress or injuries they still manage to work and avoid their injuries while it hurts them. People
