Description:
Reflecting not only the author's theories and experience but the input of dozens of other stage managers, fight choreographers, pyrotechnicians, and directors, this text is a long-overdue introduction to the art of stage managing. It provides the guidelines and instructions needed by a beginning stage manager and provides 40 forms to help organize time and activities as well as a notation system to minimize difficulty with blocking and to make blocking notes more readable. Tips to assist the stage manager with preventing and recognizing unsafe conditions are covered in Chapter 7. Illustrations and examples from real experience clarify the multifaceted duties of the stage manager. The evolving role of the stage manager as a collaborative team member in contemporary theatre is addressed in depth. Checklists and forms covering pre- to post-production help the novice to manage necessary tasks. These can be individualized to fit any situation. A notation system for stage movement and stage combat provides traditional conventions for blocking and supplies symbols that are simple to learn and use. Unique chapters on musical production and stage combat give guidelines for working with dancers and singers and the added complications of a large cast and staff, as well as safety considerations and use of firearms.
