Stage Construction - We will Rock you!

 Hey look, its me, what was I doing last year? I do not know. Lets find out.


I took part in a stage management team fro a local school play 'We will rock you', to spark the up coming we will rock you theater production at the Bristol Hippodrome. Just a couple of stage sets i was working on throughout the six weeks to produce such a great show. I think the production even made it into a local newspaper, who knew! such a great laugh with the people there, some great practical experience.

 


working under a school budget was probably one of the hardest creative conundrums to collide with. The price of a pot of white emulsion at £10, to only cover a few boards. we were practically milking the money as much as possible, to maintain what quality was available. Unfortunately many schools today have become shy from the creative industry, and this whole traditional education scheme they have tried to influence onto schooling had sometimes taken a turn for the worst. 


The school production had actually been a creative and media based center. However, it was only a couple of years of a creative budget, and within only two years it transformed into a mathematics and engineering school. Sad times. Especially for those creative students who assigned their school membership for those reasons, for it only to be later transformed.
