Personal statement

My back ground is in Theatre but am always looking to expanded my skills and knowledge of the Arts in other areas beside theatre. I always have interest in being part of a creative team .

I am a graduate from The Academy of live and recorded arts (ALRA), with a full driving licence, DPS checked and have had first Aid training as well as being computer Literate.

I am currently stage managing for Baroque Theatre company, who are doing a reginal tour of ‘Kindly Leave the Stage’. I have previously Stage Manage for them, which I confidently had been able to manage two different shows, Sherlock Holmes and the Christmas carol and the great kip nap of Santa. These where performed in a variety of theatre, community and studio spaces around the UK over 3 months.
I had to put together schedules for each show coving get in/out, fight calls, assembling and maintain props.
I liaise on well with technical team, producer, director and staff at various venues and the actor’s, especially when it came to organizing where props and quick changes where needed.
Prop sourcing was vital to the shows and is an area I feel very confident in doing.
Though out the run there were days when we were scheduled to perform both shows on the same day at different times so had to schedule the changeover smoothly. This had to be well organized and I was confident in managing the team with in the time we had and with safety in mind.

I have worked on big stage musicals such Hairspray and fiddler on the roof with Southend operatic and Solomon’s productions, which required a lot of rigging and scenery set up.
From there I have worked on small plays with sanderling productions and two by two
Theatre Company, requiring a lot of assisting with quick changes and maintaining and sourcing props. I have managed children’s theatre with the NTA workshops, which I’m shore you would of gathered required a lot of passions with children and to keep the rehearsals and show flowing. Though all of this experience I have learnt the importance’s of attending rehearsals and keeping notes of any changes and updates to then liaise on with all involved with the creating of the shows.

I am a very friendly, bubbly, enthusiastic person who is reliable, hardworking and can make a good cup of tea or coffee when it is needed.
I can work professionally with others and am a great team player.
I’m willing to work hard and put in the time to be successful in completing my work and maintain the high standard and quality that theatre aims for.

I have taken on jobs that require being caring, patient and having good communication skills, which I believe are good skills to have as an assistant stage manager.
I work well under pressure and understand the need to have to multi task to get the best results.

Though my training at The Academy of live and recorded arts (ALRA), I gained skills in researching and sourcing props, assembling and maintaining props running list, book cover, lighting and rigging, awareness of health and safety, scheduling, show reports, stage set up, get in/out and maintenance of stage, costumes and props.

I am confident I can make a difference, by taking on any required role in order to help and support the production.
I would truly appreciate the experience of coming to work with you.
