Organising is something that I really enjoy, so making a rehearsal schedule for the group was fun for me. I collected together all company members timetable for University and any other times that they are not able to do, such as if they are in a society or work at certain times. By doing this I was able to maximise rehearsals by making sure that every member was able to attend. By looking at times and dates that people were not free I was able to draft up available days for rehearsing. Then I searched room bookings and booked the rooms that were free during the times we needed. Unfortunately we were not able to get as much time in the studios within the Lincoln Performing Arts Centre as we would have liked, but we was able to use other rooms within the University. Once rooms were booked I met with the Director, Lauren, to plan out what each rehearsal could consist of. This was to add structure to rehearsals so everybody knew what would be happening within the rehearsals.
Once this was all decided I went away and crafted a rehearsal schedule that was given to each person within the group. Using Windows Excel meant that I could use the columns to organise each rehearsal clearly, splitting it up into; date, time, room, scene and notes – so that notes could be made on each rehearsals to help people, actors especially, to see what they have done on what day and help with their blogs.
