Okay, so this has had one or two specific threads before, but I feel like I could still benefit from getting some more advice.
I have a portfolio review later this week. The basis of this is that I'm trying out for an all state theatre production to work as the lighting designer, and I need to complete a 5 minute portfolio review for them in order to get the job. I've talked with several people who have been accepted for major positions in the past, and from what they said, it seems to be, "You have five minutes, use your portfolio and your person and prove to us that you're good for the position, and Go.:"
Personally, I was wondering if anyone else has been in a similar position, and what they recommend as important for the interview (E.G. what should I dedicate those five minutes towards?) Obviously, I plan on being well dressed and talking like a civilized person, but beyond that I'm not sure what I can do.
Thanks again to everyone.
