Internship theatre production

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because of my interest in the theater world, I decided to do an internship in theater production. During this internship I wanted to learn about the ins and outs of theater and musical production and see if she could come up with a fitting proposal for a final master project. Fitting to both: the needs of the theater field and my personal design interests.

 

During my nternship I, amongst others, helped organize and host premieres, theatre ‘assembly’ weeks and repetitions. Coordinated communications between theatres and actors backstage, organized an online talent competition for the shows of Karin Bloemen, posted on social media, took photographs at events and edited vlogs. I build a network in this field where networking and connections are crucial;  and maintained this network over the course of my studies. I came up with several design opportunities that would benefit the field; most of them are based on marketing and getting to know the visitors. But those proposals did not initially fit my design interests and learning goals well enough for to decide to continue with them.

 

Most importantly theatre production is about finding last minute solutions and prioritizing what needs to be done because continuously new opportunities or problems pop-up that need to be dealt with immediately and this is where I developed most. I became better at prioritizing due to the amount of work that needed to be done and continuously changed.

“Next to her support in the production team she also, with unrestrained verve, helped develop the online marketing content of the company in form of photographs, movies and vlogs. To achieve this Michelle uses her great creativity, enthusiasm and technical knowledge of photo- design- and editing- software with amazing result. (..) It can truly be said that Michelle was an essential part in lifting our social media content to a higher level.”
