i'm really not sure about this. i feel that there should be some recognition of the crew, but i don't want to take away from the actors. it's a hard
call to make really, something that has to be talked oever with everyone i feel, crew, director, cast, TD, SM, and every other position.
on a slightly more humorous note: my school has a dance concert at the end of each semester. my friend came up with this dance we
call "the happy techie dance" (essentially you stand there and kick each
leg out alternatingly about 6" off the
ground in a rather slow manner, a laid back can-can if you will). and another friend of mine and i came up with the idea that during the dance concert, during
intermission, we'd bring in the rag and then a few minutes later it would rise very slowly and show all of us in very simple blue light, with no music doing our little dance, then we'd look up the lights would come up, we'd all see the audience and scatter in a paniced fashion...we thought it would be a humorous way to handle the "no one gives a s*** about what i do for this place feeling that a lot of techs at my college have at the end of the semester.
