Having recently graduated for Rose Bruford College with a degree in Stage Management I now have a full time job working for a video company based in London. Over the course of the next few weeks Andy Hicks (a fellow Rose Bruford Graduate, and now video technician) and i will be reminiscing on the journey we have taken over the last three years. This will form a series of posts on our respective blogs that we are calling ‘Retrospect’
We hope that they will become an informative read for current and future students of not just Rose Bruford but those training in the arts. As well as a great way to document our progress so far and the route it has taken.
Each post we’ll pick a subject that we think will be of interest and/or relevance and will each be posting our take on this subject. As the series develops you will be able to get a good cop, bad cop or good cop, good cop (depending on the subject!) account of that time frame by reading the corresponding posts on each site.
As you will begin to realise Andy and I have both come from a fairly similar place, and undertaken the same course. We have taken pretty different paths to get to where we are today, but now both hold jobs with London based video companies and are facing the same prospects as graduates trying to make it in a competitive working world.
I look forward to these with much anticipation.
Full of envy for your blog. Very sharp and professional. This is such a worthwhile project – I’ve added a link in the Outreach section of Theatre Futures, hope you don’t mind. Thaks for your comments regarding Creating Theatre – I took your advice and went back to wordpress.
hey ho rich,
the above sounds great – just checking i have the correct email for you? well – if youve received an email from me then i have!
as an afterthought to my email – the job could possibly be something that you and andy split if you are both very busy? i think it would be a great opportunity to pass down your skills to the now younger generation!
