Royal Court - Birdland. Week 3 - Days 3 & 4.

Today I got to sit in on rehearsals at the beginning of the day during A. Scott and D. Cerqueira's line run. I receieved an email from I. Andlaw (DSM) the previous evening with the rehearsal notes, particularly for Stage Management. We were asked to source children's bubbles for one of the actress's to use, and were asked if there was any possibility if the colour of the bubbles could be turned black to match the design elements of the show. 

From sitting in on rehearsals, it was A. Scott's request if we could find a step ladder to place upstage of the bus shelter to make it easier and quicker for the actors to climb. It was then announced that the bus shelter would have easily accessible parts for the actors to use to climb when it transfers back to the Royal Court Theatre during Tech week. 

The next day (Thursday 20th March) I attended the production meeting at 09.30am, which meant that I was called for 09:00 to set up for rehearsals that were to begin at 10. The main things that came out of the production meeting were:

- To sort out Mr Scott's costume fitting with H. Waddington and L. Walshaw.
- To look for a gun that's whacky, fun and colourful. (Plastic)
- Intercome speakers.
- To see whether the theatre's flight cases could be used as the wheely tables.
- To find 2 more iPhones. They don't necessarily need to work.
- To source/buy fruit loops and coloured sweets.
- To buy bubblegum or gob-stoppers for Nicola scene.

After the production meeting, I set out to source and buy some Fruit Loop cereal for Mr. Scott and Ms. Kettle which was to be bought back to the rehearsal room immediately as they had not practiced the scene with food before. Once I arrived, I assisted S. Tryfan and G. Sharman in setting up the props table at the back of the rehearsal room.
