Unit 2

 

For my arts leadership I was in charge of controlling the lights for the "dance showcase", I had to sit through rehearsals and memorise all the lights and when to click them. I had written all the cues on a piece of paper to help guide me through the show and when i should trigger the lights. This experience has helped me further improve my leadership skills. If one of the lights were triggered at an incorrect time I would have used my initiative to help fix this. The final performance was very stressful in case of any miss click's however this course has allowed me to cope with stress as well as develop all of these leadership skills such as working independently rather than relying on other people and I’m far more optimistic and interested in technical parts of shows than I was when I started.

This is one of the last poster which I had to design for a dance show case, where the actors performing would have to be accessed. The creation of this poster was a good way to test my ability in terms of coming up a poster, since I was notified about the poster at a late date. I had very little time to make the poster but in conclusion was able to come up with a successful poster. Similar to my previous posters, I designed this on photoshop. The gold statue was used to represent the rich elegance of dance which was to be demonstrated in the dance showcase. As for the font I wanted to retain the gold theme, so i gave the all the fonts a gold texture.

Recently I was instructed to shadow Rebecca Evans performance as well as help around as she was teaching 2nd year students to come up with a performance of their own which involved lights and an interactive performance where selected people from the audience were able to influence what happened in the performance. As I have chosen to help with sound management I did help with the lights and sound during their performance. During the professional performance I also aided with front stage management by handing out and taking back tablets. After my experience I feel that my knowledge and experience has developed as I'm more aware of what actually goes on behind an during a performance, I will find this useful when I eventually come to managing the lights and sound of a show that I'm asked to do.
