Last week we had a production meeting for Love's Labour's Lost. Production meetings are typically long-winded affairs held before rehearsals start to discuss preparations and schedules. Included in the meeting (pictured anticlockwise from bottom) was:
Paula Garfield (Director)
Andrew Muir (Assistant Director)
Mark Sands (Executive Director i.e. the man with the money!)
Martin McLean (Project Manager - looks after contracts, marketing and the all important blog!)
Kate Furby (Creative Interpreter - translating what was said in the meeting to BSL/English)
Fiona Albrow (Costume and Prop Designer)
Georgina Alexander (Stage Manager)
Simon Heap (Set Designer)
Simon Perkins (Tour Technical Manager)
There was much talk about the set, props and costumes. It is important that they match up well together. For example, if the costumes have an abstract design then the set should also have an abstract feel. Also, the directors need to be clear what can be achieved within budgets the designers have available to them. More to follow about the set and costumes.....
We also talked about the music, the tour, transport, budgets, timescales and lots of details much too dull to repeat here. In all, it was a productive, production meeting!
