Gorges Motel Check Ins

Natalie - Director

  • This week soft off book - not super strict, there are some longer monologues

  • Had Steve come in for 3 hours of Zoom rehearsals, gave some really great feedback

  • Excited and nervous!!!

  • Had a creative team meeting, good check in!!

Katie - TD

  • Gave departments the week to work on their own, everything seems to be on track

  • Planning on delivering stuff next week


ED Check Outs

Sage - Director

  • Live performance - only did it because Miranda spoke up thinking it would be good

    • Was unsure if people would want to watch a clumsy live run, but EBoard and general members were enthusiastic!!

    • All 3 nights would have been impossible scheduling-wise, so did Thursday

  • Lots of people came to the live show, certain unexpected energy at that show

    • Was the BEST performance for every actor, really felt that energy

  • Advice for future virtual directors:

    • Communicate, be open and flexible

    • There’s a lot you can’t grasp since you can’t see people’s body language

      • Have to encourage people to speak up and not sit there quietly

    • People don’t always want to do warmups on Zoom, listen to your cast

    • Keep rehearsals short, long rehearsals were REALLY exhausting

      • Limit was 3 hours, any times going over that were rough

    • Try to do fun things to encourage productivity! 

      • End early, go through scenes with fun activities

  • ED on the Stage Troupe YouTube account

    • Have sent out the link to some people already

    • Would rather it be seen more

    • Can make it public!

    • Want to edit the description with more context
