DISCUSSION • All going well • Need to look at pocket issues in rehearsal for petal throwing • Should put her in fall arrest harness anchored to floor behind – would require bolt in floor • Would be logical for uni to buy harness • Cloth to be pulled up manually unless found to be too heavy at which point we would look into a pully option • Another option is Macy’s carpet choice in Ballarat where Devil carpet was bought. • Have tree everyone likes it – may need some pruning – to be done in theatre • Dionysus stick found – twig in use in rehearsals • Want haze – would use most of budget – decision to use sound budget for haze (CFA costs) as there should be no sound costs. • Set/props/consumables looking to come in under $1000 • $3-400 of this budget needs to go to rostra building • May be issues with needing EWP tickets – Bron and Russell don’t have them. • Russell has working at heights certificate through uni • Purchase of washing machine approved • Lx crew for Russell – Thurs 3rd 2 crew from 10am to 6pm • Fri 4th rehearsal on set from 10 – 6 • Costume Parade in Foyer Fri 4th • EWP hire Thurs 3rd to Thurs 10th • Need roster of cast for plot on 7th – all cast on Standby for evening of 7th • Community radio interview Wed 2nd at 7.30pm
