Ent 4499 – Culmination Project
Production Manager
Bindlestiff Family Cirkus
Executive Summary:
Production manager for City Tech Theatreworks production of Bindlestiff Family Cirkus variety show. My purpose for this event is help keep the artist and show organized and ready to perform. To complete this task, I will keep an open communication with the performers, from the time they enter the building, participating in technical rehearsal, perform their act during the live performances.
City Tech Theatreworks collaborates with a resident company to produce live events for the city Tech community. This year the resident company is Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, it is an open mic night to present emerging and professional circus variety artist. They cultivate and develop celebrating tradition while maintain circus arts as current accessible and relevant.
This project will be executed by creating a transparent communicating system between myself, the producer, and technical team collaborating on the show.
I predict the results of my effort will include as smooth running of each show, with little to no issues between each artist.
Learning by doing will be a huge outcome, networking with the artist for possible future employment, becoming comfortable collaborating with a team, discussion making
Project Description:
As an Entertainment Technology major within these Four years my main focuses have been lighting and Management. I have taken the classes and did an internship as the stage manager for a play called: Bloom but there is always a need to learn more in this field. My end goal when I graduate is to be able to find a job as a light designer or a stage manager.
