Tech Week Info!

Hi everyone,

We wanted to fill you in on some more specific details for how tech week is going to work! Please let us know if you have any questions as we go forward! And keep spreading the word about show and invite lots of your friends, family, and contacts to come! This is one of those shows that LOTS of people need to see - we all know how much it changes your perspective and opens you up.

Homework Notes - This is our "Bring It" week! Your own music, movement, and expression needs to be flawless by Sunday. Christina would like to add an extra push on bringing out the dynamics and clean cut offs! :)

Sunday April 26
Location: Dalhousie Arts Centre, Rm 121
Time: 1:15-5:30 pm
Focus: Our big focus for this rehearsal is integrating everything with Sarain's work. We want to fine tune all those moments of connection between she and the singers, and to help her get an even more concrete sense of how she will be connected to the choir throughout the show. We will also spend time refining remaining text, music, and blocking details.
To Bring: your costume, your music, water, pencil
Snack Duty: Alto 1s!

Monday April 27
Location: St Matthews
Time: 5:00-10:00 pm
Focus: This rehearsal is all about the tech. We will be working cue to cue with our lighting designer Matt, and do a run to give him a chance to play with how the lights and show will interact.

Snack Duty: Alto 2s!

Thursday April 30

Time: 6:00 pm call, 8:00 pm show
This is it!!!!!!

Strike
Please note that after Saturday's show, we will have to strike all the gear out of the building. Everyone MUST stay to help this happen. No one is to leave following the show until the whole venue is clear. Erin and Matt will be assigning people jobs so you can look to Erin for instructions on what to do. There is not a huge set up for this show, so the strike should go quite quickly. We will give you time following the performance to chat with your friends and family in attendance (about 20 mins) and then we'll start the strike. You will not have to stay late on Friday night to do anything, but we do expect the green room to be perfectly clean when you leave both nights.

THIS IS THE BIG WEEK LADIES!!! It's all coming together!!! We are so excited and can't wait to give amazing performances. Please make sure you're getting some good rest and eating well, drinking lots of water, etc. Keep talking up the show to everyone you know - let's fill the church next weekend!!!
