Awards Location Recce

Today we went down to the Hawth and had a look at the location in which we shall be hosting our awards ceremony. The technician showed us the space which we will be using on the night itself. The show will run 7:00pm til 8:30pm June 23rd. We will be able to get into the space at 6pm to commence setting up the stage area, audience seating, lighting, audio and other technical elements such as the projector (which will be setup in a cradle above the audience).

As part of my role as Stage Manager, it is important that I noted the dimensions of the the stage area

I found out that the stage area is 10 metres by 6metres. However when we position the movable curtain so that the stage is split into a front-stage section measuring 4.75 metres by 10 metres and a back-stage section measuring 1.25 metres by 10 metres.

Tomorrow I will need to discuss some issues with Sharron who is also a Stage Manager, such as the stage layout, entrances/exits, access from audience to stage etc.
