Election post
You may have seen me around in a few different productions this year — mainly as an ASM for Shrek and the DSM for A Monster Calls, as well as just generally around the Blooms and the Green Room. Through this, I’ve seen firsthand how important welfare, strong communication, and a welcoming environment are to making Stage Crew run smoothly.
If elected, I’d like to carry on the fantastic work done by the committee this year in strengthening communication between producing societies and Stage Crew, as well as continuing weekly welfare drop-ins. However, I’d also like to:
-Make them a space where new members feel more comfortable asking questions and sharing concerns
-Push for more workshops where experienced members of different departments can share their expertise
One of the main things I’d like to do is commence Operation Stage Crew Touch Grass. Sometimes we all get a bit wrapped up backstage and forget to take a break. To help combat this, I’d like to:
-Occasionally host welfare drop-ins outside
-Have more conversations about burnout and how to avoid it
-Designate some welfare drop-ins as study breaks
Finally, if elected, I’d like to advocate for a bigger welfare presence on smaller and external shows. No matter the size of the show, welfare should always be a priority!
Stage Crew is an incredible community — I want to make sure that everyone feels supported and valued, and I’d love your vote to help make that happen :)
