Spotlight, the workshop program, has given me a wonderful community and many learning opportunities. Yet having been both performer and director, the lack of support behind the program can be frustrating. In order to bring attention to this underrated part of the society, I propose the following:

• Restructure Spotlight and redefine its goals
  • More cohesively integrate the “workshop” and “showcase” elements
  • Scale down the showcase, focusing on doing well even if it means doing less
  • Overhaul the showcase so that every participant gets an equal chance in the spotlight (ex. a jukebox-type performance with each numbers starring different performers)
• Introduce a new variety of workshops besides performance and production
  • Creation (ex. feedback for original works, choreography, writing)
  • Practical knowledge (ex. vocal health and maintenance, conflict management)
  • Specialized workshops for specific skills (ex. stage violence, intimacy direction, particular vocal/dance techniques)
• Maintain clear communication
  • Consistent updates via multiple platforms
  • An interest form regarding what you would like to see in future workshops
  • An anonymous feedback form for anything workshop-related (be given the freedom to safely voice your unfiltered opinion to someone that has the ability to do something about it)

I want to help you make the most of your MTSoc membership, and I want to prove that this society has more substance than just the big shows. If my ideas interest you, please consider voting for me!
