If you work in theatre stage management, you have many transferable skills for corporate showcalling. Same basic discipline. Very different media.
When you work as a theatre DSM you always start rehearsals at the beginning and end at the end. Corporate event rehearsals are always a jumble — dependent on the availability of presenters. You are the living breathing running order for the showcrew. Sometimes a presenter doesn't rehearse at all. Together with the event producer and the technical crew you are pulling together a show, always under time pressure. You don't get a second hit.
In theatre the creative team are instructive to youas to how they want cues called, and often don't recognise the difference the way you call cues contributes to the creative outcome. In corporate events you are much more at the centre of the decision making. Sometimes you will know more about how to do this than the junior producer you may be working with and supporting. This course will prepare you for that shift in authority, as well as the technical differences between the two worlds.
This course covers all the production roles, and walks you through the whole process — from arrival on site to delivery of the show. It's a pressurised world. By the end, you'll know whether it is for you.
