I want to be more involved in stage crew, and I think becoming a rep is a great way to do so! I’m excited to deepen my knowledge about putting on productions while becoming more involved as part of the team. As a first year, I understand how overwhelming it can be to join new societies. I’d love to help make everyone feel welcome and included, regardless of their experience level, especially in stage crew, where teamwork is so important.
Hi! My name is Robin, a Master's student studying Construction Management. Theatre has been a massive part of my life for the past 8 years, having been able to take part in loads of ways from acting to backstage/tech to some directing! I would like to nominate myself for freshers rep, as I know how important it is for new people to feel welcome in a society. Whether you are a first year, first time at uni or a postgrad like me, being new can be super daunting and having a familiar face at socials, shows or events can really help. I also believe I could bring some experience, having been on the committee multiple times during my undergrad for the drama society, allowing me to bring a new perspective to stage crew. For a lot of new people, like me, this is probably their first time living in London, and therefore my main goal as freshers rep is help support anyone who needs it or simply someone to talk to. Thanks for the consideration! - Robin
Hi! My name is Athena, and I'm running to be one of your Freshers' Reps this academic year :) I've been working in crew since Year 7, and I’m super excited to be involved backstage in a completely new environment and on a much larger scale, starting in Term 1 as your CSM for Medea (get tickets!!)
Although I've only been a part of Stage Crew Society for a Month (and 5 days :D), I feel as if I have already found a genuine community, and it is this sense of belonging which I want to bring to the other first years. Being a fresher can be intimidating, especially in a more technically advanced society like SC, which is why I want to offer a helping hand to those new to both crew and the university, ensuring that everyone will be able to access the multitude of opportunities SC has to offer and make new friends (we love seeing that Instagram follower count go up). What particularly inspired me to run for this position was hearing in passing that most people only discover/ start immersing themselves in Stage Crew in their 2nd or 3rd year, and I think, with such amazing Arts facilities at UCL, it would be a shame to let accessibility stop people from getting involved earlier on.
If elected, I will be working together with the other Freshers' Rep to host drop-in/social sessions for first-years, help signpost more beginner-friendly training/show opportunities, and just be around in general to support everyone :)
Vote for me and get tickets for Medea <333
