I have friends who go to art institutes for specific reasons and here is the general idea that I get from talking to them. It's great if you only want to be in there for one thing and one thing only. You will not get any training in anything else and you will be expected to be dedicated to that...

Problem I had with steel toe is that it was during the show and we had to be dressed up in character costumes. (insert shudder here)

I go to a college where they are VERY dedicated in letting everyone try new things. I've seen costume people hanging lights like pro's and set designers sitting in a shop with a needle and thread! The thing they are always telling us though is that we have to network. This business does rely on...

So the worst injury I have had was when I was actually in a show that was using swords. During one of the practices I turned around and the guy "somehow" missed the other huys sword and slashed me across the back. It was dulled, but still hurt for awhile. My worst tech accident had to be when...

I had the platforms described to me as platforms that can be rolled around and make the different scenes in a show. Also called block platforms I believe. They need to be tall enough to make a grand staircase in one scene and then be moved around to make a small house. I think the technical...

I have a project that involves me talking about convertable platforms. I was wondering if anyone had any general knowledge/advice on how best make and to use them and what you believe works best when using them. Kind of a pro's and con's list.

So officially I do mainly acting, but I want to learn about all aspects of the career I have chosen for myself. So I go to college (Catawba College in Salisbury NC) to learn about as much as possible. Lighting Design, Set design, Managment etc. This way I can be not only an actor, but a true...
