Stage Crew Society: Social Secretary

From Just dance to rolling tape around I think i can build on this years socials so we can have more fun next year!

I would love to run for the position of Social Secretary for StageCrew, for number of a reasons. I am currently a first year and have been interested in joining this society long before I even started my time at UCL but only to officially join Stage Crew in the second term. I understand the importance and the need for social events in a society, integrating and creating opportunities for members to bond and get to know one another, as well as approaching to other people around us. With this role, it can allow me to participate and give back to Stage Crew and create the same or even more opportunities for current and future members. Providing me insight and experience with the running of a successful university society. I have many previous experiences with organising events for a community, through my role as a school monitor, sports captain and a captain of a senior ‘house’ I have been able to organise different team bonding events as well as charitable fundraising events.

Hi! I’m Sara, I am a first-year Politics and Sociology student and I’ve really enjoyed being the Fresher’s rep on the Stage Crew committee this year! I’ve been involved in three Blooms shows, as an ASM on An Ideal Husband and the Producers and as co-prod manager on the K-Pop Showcase. Throughout these weeks, on externals and especially as part of the committee I have gradually become familiar with how Stage Crew runs, but most importantly I have gotten to meet so many great people some of whom were new to Stage Crew, and many who had been involved forever.
I believe socials are central to stage crew, particularly in Term 1 because they serve both as an opportunity to learn more about crews, shows and different roles, and as a space to get to know everyone else involved and with that feel more confident signing up for crews. When I first joined Stage Crew in the fall I had absolutely no experience and was very unsure how I could get involved, so it was at socials like ‘Meet the Committee’ and the Pub quiz, that I could figure out what roles I wanted to try and above all, meet a few familiar faces so signing up didn’t feel so nerve-wracking.
Partially based on my own experience, I think socials can be an important avenue to recruit new members and encourage people to keep signing up. Stage Crew can at times become very energy and time-consuming with an overwhelming amount of work, so I hope that socials can be a chance to find some balance in a low-stress environment.
