Chat with CSM regarding production week schedule
Rehearsals start
Due to the weather and an event at the labour club I have to reschedule the day so two actors can go to the labour club in the morning instead of this afternoon. It's a split up day with three spaces being used so a complicated day
Schedule all sorted, everyone is sent to their different spaces for the morning and told to reconvene at 14:00 after their lunch break
Throughout rehearsals I'm taking notes to pass onto the production team departments.
Lunch – Buy some fruit and cake
Full Company is back and we have a presentation from Leah (Artist in residence) explaining her project and processes – very beautiful!
Everyone is split up again. I stay in the main rehearsal room but check in to the other rooms when they need to move around.
Update the rehearsal schedule
Edit the script and lyrics from the last reprint we had done and update the paper copy.
Update the trolley transition list
Start a costume change list
Start rehearsal report notes
Programme cast images need to be approved so these are shown to the actors to check that their name is correct and they like their photograph
Some cast members are released while the sessions move around.
The schedule for Saturday changes so I inform the stage management team and any cast members
Rehearsals end
Run in the rain to the train with John
Finish the call sheet and send out to the actors via email/text message
Finish rehearsal report and send out with call sheet to all NTW staff and production team members.
Answer any outstanding emails
Arrive back into Cardiff
Clear my brain on the walk back to my digs
Reply to more emails
Pass out
