Indigo Sky Community Gallery

Stage Manager/Assistant Stage Manager

Blank Page Poetry: Words and Shadows is a performance piece involving spoken word poetry, lights and shadows, a simple stage set-up and live drumming. The first three performances in which I filled the position of Assistant Stage Manager, were held in Savannah, GA. One performance was at the Jepson Center as part of the Pulse Art & Technology Festival, and the other two were held at Indigo Sky Community Gallery.

As Assistant Stage Manager, I ran lightboard and directed performers, as well as performing a poem in the last of the three sessions.

The most recent performance was held in Chattanooga, TN, as part of the New Discord Festival. In this performance, I filled the role of Stage Manager, which involved running soundboard and directing performers.
