Seeking set desigers / builders / painters /stage manager /costume person / tea lady
Sat, 21 May 2011, 12:16 pmHi people, A lad in sane productions forthcoming production at the Phoenix Theatre is not too far way. June 24th opening to be exact. At this point in time, we don't have a stage Manager, set designer, prop builders,set painters...in fact, we're still 3 short of cast members. Not to worry! Buddha will provide, or so my 'lettuce and spiced omelette' friend assures me. Now call me cynical, but being my letters to Santa, and Buddha are coming back with a 'No longer at this address' stamp, I thought it best, not to wait and see if Buddha does in fact provide. Rather, I'd best go off and seek...and so here I am seeking...even just your advice would be appreciated. This gig may prove enticing to those of you who like a challenge, the main challenge is we have to create a set within a very short lead time. How short? Think of 'Dopey' or Sneezy' and you'd be close. What are we creating? A TV studio...that changes to a lounge room, and then back to a studio, and then an Irish pub..see, easy....well it would be easy if I found making sets as easy as writing frivolous plays with no essential meaning. On a serious note, anyone who'd be kind enough to offer input, props (I can supply a list), we'd be most grateful, we'll even reward you with tickets to the show, so you can admire your handiwork. cheers

T.A.P. (Where are you now!?!?!)
Sun, 19 June 2011, 08:14 amThis is a prime example of where a group that Joe and I attempted to create a few years back would come in handy.
T.A.P. (Technical Advisory Pool) was a concept created by Joe to assist companies/Directors and AmDrammers with techy type problems (I.E. Lighting, Sound, Set Building/Design/Painting, precise period costume etc).
Joe and I managed to gather a few like minded souls that were willing to pass on their "expertise" in a given field to who ever was having the problem.
We were NOT a volunteer task force that would come in and do the job for you, but simply, as the name implies, an Advisory Group who could be called upon to suggest methods to assist the suffering party out of their pain.
(IF the "Techspert" was willing/able to stay on board with the production and assist "physically" with the show then that was his/her own choice.)
Unfortunately, the T.A.P. concept was very short lived for whatever reason.
A shame really, many productions in and around Perth and as far afield as Kalgoorlie have been aided by members of the T.A.P. team.
