Welcome to Gaia! ::

For Dance shows:

-DANCERS- BE NICE TO US TECHIES AND PEOPLE ON CREW! I just got done with a dnace show, none of them listen.

-Techies/CRew- When doing a dance show, expect the dancers not to listen. Also, they might scream and yell backstage so be prepared to yell constantly to get them to be quiet.

-Dancers(Atleast the ones at my school) don't really know theatre ettiquitte, be prepared to keep them in line.

-Sweep the marly(Sp...I can't spell today) and mop way before the show, or jsut make sure it dries. (We wound up having a big puddle in the center of the stage, and stage left, which caused the dancers to make a scene..not fun)

-expect people to bump into lights or get hurt.

+JUST IN GENERAL:

-energy drinks/tea/coffee anything that gives you energy is your friend.

-Build flats the way they're supposed to be be built.

-If you're just going to sit around doing nothing, then leave. You'll be in the way.

-Wear comfy clothes, especially shoes

-Lighting designers, you aren't gods, so don't act like one. (Ours does...its really annoying.)

Unless directed otherwise by the director (mine tends to like you starting your lines, thus eliminating blank space/dead air. We dont like those in comedies)

KNOW YOUR CUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Know your lines
Write down your blocking in your script, you may need it someday. (roleswaps <3)
During roleswaps, we all know it's funny when guys play the female romantic lead and vice versa, don't be scared to have fun

if you want to look like you're having a converstion on stage when you're really not, mouth watermelon over and over to yourself or fellow actor(s).
