Lx 23rd June

Today I came in to be told that Mig had left, I am not sure why, but she isn't coming back. This meant that I would be plotting the rest of the show by myself. 

We continued the day with me plotting and designing the lighting states, I did this by looking at the scene (the location, the mood, where people were on stage and what they were doing, etc) and combined this with what the directors were asking for as well as what lights were available. I had some designing help from Alan as he is more experienced, but did do some states on my own. I have kept in with the theme of an old fashioned, pollocks style theatre by mostly using generic lights in the states and trying not to use the movers very much, especially the A7's which have bright LED's.

We spent the rest of the day plotting the second act, we wanted to finish it completely as the show opens tomorrow, so when the actor's left at nine o'clock, Me, Caitlyn, Alan and Denise stayed behind finish it along with a few other techies and directors who volunteered to stay and help by walking the stage. We finished plotting the second act at about quarter past eleven. We will run through it with the actors tomorrow.

Today we started teching straight away from where we left off, Mig was there to help in the morning but had to leave in the evening so I was left to do It independently (getting design advice form Alan when I needed to.)

We managed to get quite a bit done today and have now finished the first act.

Today we spent the morning getting ready for the tech to start this afternoon. We made more some groups and palletes and I set up a birdie under the rake for the av operator.

In the afternoon the actors came in and we finally started to tech the show, we have made the first 14 cues and covered about eight pages of the script.
