“From a composer/sound designer point of view: The expectation is that we will work through every break, and then amend or change content after and between tech hours. Each individual addresses this the way that they can. Either they work during the tech itself, and are not as active during the process, or they work outside of tech knowing they will lose time to sleep and eat, but usually it’s a mixture of both depending on what part of the tech you are in.”
“We are one-person teams working through every moment, and between tech, every day through previews. Additionally, when we’ve been asked to be part of rehearsals, there is very rarely compensation for that time as well – or the understanding of the work that is needed to have a rehearsal show in addition to the actual show, and the rigging of that system.”
