Backstage Challenge
|
|
Teams must register with Festival Registration. Cost is $15 per team.
The Backstage Challenge is a series of events that are designed to test students’ knowledge of basic skills that every technician should have. A four person team working together to complete each task underlines the principle that theatre technicians that work together to accomplish the given tasks make the production successful. In technical theatre, both time and accuracy are critical to a successful outcome. As artists we demand excellence in the tasks we are given, but as technicians we also have to perform the tasks quickly and efficiently so as not to disrupt the production process. The Backstage Challenge runs from 1:00 – 4:00 pm on Thursday (the first day of the Kansas Thespian Conference). Backstage Challenge is run at the same time as Thespys. Schools may enter as many teams as they wish. Want to learn more about each event/practice? Leslie Coats will be hosting a learning workshop the Thursday of Festival from 10-12pm. Come and go as you are able. |
