About me
I am an experienced Stage Manager and have worked professionally as CSM, SM, DSM and technician in live performance for twenty years. I'm happy in most technical areas but Stage Management is my main love and have been freelance for nearly four years now. I have worked in all kinds of venues and contracts from fringe to large scale, in various kinds of theatre including children's and schools tours. Other events I've worked on include music/comedy festivals and site specific. I am an excellent communicator and have high attention to detail so I am reliable in terms of avoiding and solving problems quickly and efficiently. I am a hard worker with a good attitude, and am happy managing a team. I am friendly and outgoing with good communication skills across all teams.Additional skills:
First Aid at Work Certificate (2017-2020)
Practical Pyrotechnics and Safety Awareness (2016)
Diploma Level II - Bench Joinery (2017)

Additional information:
To explain the time gap a few years ago, I got a 'normal' job to get music into my life via the freedom a routine provides. I am a singer, so I do that too, plus it makes me passionate about a good sound in live performance.
Admin skills - I have a special interest in risk assessment, and am happy drafting documentation for site specific work, or any other activity that may call for it.

Highlights

Philip Bashford (Sound Engineer)
Taraneh is a versatile asset to any production having worked in-house and on tour with myself on many occasions. I have worked with Taraneh on Musical Theatre, Drama, Pantomime and Rock gigs where she has been a strong team player and always calm and professional whatever myself and the company have thrown at her.
From having worked with Taraneh in an intake venue I have seen her swiss army knife of skills, knowledge and versatility backstage which is rare, but also I have seen first hand her experience in Stage Management. She has outstanding people skills and is able to calmly deal with frayed tempers in a constructive way and be objective on her decision making. She is approachable, amicable, reasonable but also firm when needed.
One of my favourite characteristics of Taraheh is there is always a big smile from her in the morning which goes along way! -
Kate Wilcock (Stage Manager)
I've had the pleasure of working with Taraneh both as my Assistant Stage Manager on tour and as part of the in house Stage Management team on panto. She is a great team player, dedicated to providing the highest levels of support in whatever capacity she is in. Her keen eye for detail has made her an invaluable member of the company, working well alongside our designer; realising his design still remaining within budget (not an easy task when propping for a mid 70s show).
On short contracts being able to slot into a company quickly is a necessity: it's hard to picture this particular tour without Taraneh. She is a great asset to London Classic Theatre and I hope that this won't be her last outing with the company.
