- The topic I have chosen is Stage Management, because it is a topic I enjoy doing, and already having experience and contacts in the field means a relatively simple search for mentorship hours and interviewees. I feel that picking a topic that I have an interest in and that I enjoy will make the senior project seem like less of a burden to me.
What do you hope to accomplish this year with this topic?
- I plan to use my experience in attentive listening and organization to help me become a better iPoly citizen by contributing in various areas in a more effective way.
- My topic this year is all about communication, and my experience can only help improve my communication skills. Stage managing is, in a way, a code word for middle man. Stage managers are always relaying messages back and forth. And even when we are not, we are trying to track down actors or crew, and keeping lines of communication open with most of the theatre staff.
- Stage Managers are constantly learning new things while working in the field, and this experience will help me improve my ability to learn by getting in the habit of picking up the small, seemingly insignificant things.
- One half of a stage managers job is technology. And we aren't just talking about Word and Photoshop. Tech in the theatre world covers anything from sound boards, to stage lights, the light board, and even the tools we use. This will help me become an effective user of technology by introducing me to types of technology I might not have ever had experience with.
