ASM Theory Lesson Work

This was done a long time ago, but  I have only just remembered to upload it, we did this in a theory lesson to get a better understanding of what happens during Production Week, so that when we came to it ourselves we had a better understanding of what was going to happen.


A Week in Tech:

Monday:
·         Normally have your get in at 8am, including rigging and the fit up.
·         Then around 12pm you would try and start focusing, this will be going on for the majority of the afternoon.
·         Between 4-5pm approximately you would start the plotting, this could take on average 1-3 hours (or for big shows it could take longer)
·         Then at 7pm you would start your tech run, you might not finish the tech run but would make a start.
·         At approx. 9.30pm you would finish, at this time stuff like set painting or if the floors needed painting then this is when it would happen.

Tuesday:
·         You would then arrive at 9am and carry on with the tech run.
·         Then at approx. 4pm you would start the dress rehearsal.
·         The between 8-9pm you would finish for the day.

Wednesday:
·         You would start with a couple of run-throughs at around 9-10pm or what time the Director Requests.
·         You would be touching up any little details that haven’t been addressed in concern to the set, props, and costumes.
·         You would then have a show at 7pm.
·         After the show you would pre-set the show ready for the next performance.

Thursday:
·         You would normally arrive at 10-11pm and check all of the pre-sets are still in the right place.
·         You would then sit down with the director and he would have written a list of notes while watching the performance, which will all be addressed by cast and crew.
·         You would then take a break and then come back ready for a 1.30-2pm show.
·         This show would normally finish around 5pm and then you will pre-set again ready for the evening performance.
·         Then 7.30pm Show.
·         Then at the end of the day you pre-set again for the next show on Friday.

Friday:
·         You will be called in at around 11-12pm ready for the 2pm show.
·         This would be the last show so you would strike and put away as much as possible.
·         After this is done the crew would be allowed to go home.
