Tight in the Bud

I was very lucky to work as Assistant Director on this project, alongside Wesley Enoch, the brilliant Bachelor of Fine Arts Acting students and the phenomenal students from Bachelor of Fine Arts Technical Production. Throughout the project I have learned from both our industry mentor and my peers, developing my vocabulary of collaboration across the variety of disciplines.

The main focus of my role was working alongside our playwrights and director to negotiate script formatting and structure, providing an outside eye for the actor's during rehearsal and providing additional performance notes during production week and the show season. I also had the opportunity to learn from my peers in the production team, through assisting with the bump in, rigging and focusing of lights and any help I could offer to our stage management team.

I witnessed a significant Australian director's unique creative process and have taken inspiration from his way of communicating, his directing process and his ambition as I become more familiar with my own aesthetics and process as a creative.
