Rehearsal culture<\/h3>\n

First, model the process; then practice, followed by brief, coached runs; and finally, allow for independent work. Critiques should provide kind, specific, and helpful feedback. Student crews gain knowledge about lighting and sound, as well as backstage flow, in the Forum’s technical booth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
