Aaditya Subramanian

I'm Aaditya and I'm running to be your Externals Officer for next year. I have experience working on many shows - both Bloomsbury and external - this year and believe I will be able to make externals work better in all respects, from the crew call to the show nights. If elected, I will implement a formal process for approving external requests from societies and for crew calls, so that crews will have ample time to prepare for the productions, so crews won't be short-staffed, and so there will not be situations where there are last-minute crew calls, as has happened this year in the absence of a formal process. I have a good knowledge of the externals kit and production and venue requirements, so I will be able to support crews in any way they need for their productions. I will make sure all members of the society have an equal opportunity to take part in externals and gain experience in various settings and roles in the crew. I will also be in regular contact with all external crews to make sure that any questions or issues are quickly resolved and help any members, especially new and less-experienced ones, with learning how to do the various necessary tasks in externals. And above all else, I want to make sure that externals are fun and rewarding for all stage crew members!
