Hi all,
I am a new member to this forum, although I have read a few posts in the past.
Anyway, I thought that you guys might be just the right ones to pose this question to. I am SMing a show in Montreal and Vancouver next spring, so naturally I am brushing up on my french to make travel and general communication just a bit easier.
Most of the load-in and advance could be handled with rudiments and some english, but what if the show needs to be, or would be better off being called in french??
Here are my major questions.
1. What is the structure of a theatrical cue in french?
2. Stage directions in french?
3. Spot thingies like frame and iris and fades?
4. Where can I learn more about production vocabulary and lingo in french?
Has anyone else been in this situation?
Thanks,
Matt
