SECTION II
The Company Responsibilities
Training
Theatre is
a physically exhausting art form. It
requires complete concentration and great stamina. If you cannot stand up to the rigor of the production schedule,
it will be necessary to replace you with someone who can. No one is above adhering to the rehearsal
and production schedules set. Check
your attitudes and egos at the door.
1. Eat three
good meals a day.
2. Get as
much sleep as possible. Good health is
essential to good performance.
3. Take care
of your voice. (This means that you
have to be attentive to how you are using it outside of rehearsal as well as
during rehearsal.) If you feel vocal strain
in rehearsal, tell the director immediately.
4. Try to get
to rehearsals at least 10 minutes early.
You will need the time to get ready physically, vocally, and
psychologically to rehearse.
5. Always allow
yourself enough prep time for an adequate warm-up. You need to be physically keyed up, really alive and placed,
responsive in senses and emotion, relaxed, concentrated, intelligently serious,
and ready to attack a creative rehearsal.
Rehearsal Notes: For Performance situations only. (Directors Option)
1. A
rehearsal secretary may sit with the director and take notes concerning your
performance.
2. You will
receive these notes either in person or as a posting on the callboard after
each rehearsal.
3. When you
get the notes, go over them carefully.
WRITE THEM DOWN in your character journal and apply to your performance
in the future.
4. Keep all
your notes together and go over them each day just prior to your rehearsal to
be sure you incorporate the suggestions in your performance.
5. If you do
not understand a note fully, be sure and check it with either the director or
assistant director before your next rehearsal.
