1. New Talent
Auditions have been done and it has ended up with 44 people in each play, which works out as 39 new members each! We decided that old members should be given smaller parts in order to give the new members a better induction into STaG. Lists of the cast have been given out to both directors. It was suggested that to equal out parts bigger roles like that of Alice should be split up. We also discussed the possibility of including other talents eg. Music.
L. Taylor and C. Felstead are organising the production teams of people with varying levels of ability in them. S. Gregson stressed the importance of booking rooms for rehearsals now to avoid disappointment and also suggested the use of Doodle to show cast availability.
We discussed the idea of a launch party in Coopers on the 1st October so the two casts can meet and be social. We also discussed a fundraiser in the STaG room on the 6th October. The budget for each show is £150, although it is important to keep all receipts and claim anything back within 28 days! A. Kane is doing the publicity and making it pretty.
2. STaG Nights
S. MacDonald applied and got the Young Scot fund which will cover venue hire and publicity (approx. £541). She will also apply for the Initiative Grant to help cover more expenses. We discussed asking the SRC for a grant too (details for which can be found in the email H. Allan sent round) A meeting will be held on Thursday 23rd September at 6pm in the STaG room to form a committee.
A social will be targeted specifically towards proposing for STaG Nights on the 27th September, L. Monkman will send an email round about this. So far there has been 1 proposal and the deadline is on the 8th October at 5pm. C. Felstead will email Reuben to ask about making posters for the shows and invite him to the meeting on Thursday.
Stereo offered the space during the day between 1 and 3 so the idea of having some daytime productions was discussed. We thought it may be better to have just films on during the day. This will only be done on Thursday and Friday so that Wednesday can be a ‘trial run’ for setting up.
3. G12
So far the deal seems to be that as long as STaG pays for janitor cover then we are able to use the space. However it is unclear whether there is still a production fund that we are able to make use of.
4. New Writing/Works Festival
The studio has been confirmed for the evenings it will be on however, the space is needed during the daytime so all the lighting etc will need to be taken down. D. Hahn suggested more focus on competition is needed this year to increase excitement. E. Burckhardt suggested looking at the pricing for the G12 space too so we can increase the number of people allowed in the space as currently the numbers for the studio are unknown.
5. T-Shirts
This will be circulated in the email again as there was some interest/queries about people ordering some. A screen printer will be bought from EBay for £10ish in A3 size.
6. Socials
Pubcrawl on the 18th October?
More theatre trips suggested for social opportunites.
7. Fresher’s Week Post-Mortem
WELL DONE STaG!
Debate about whether or not we should have another show as some say it helps to raise STaG’s profile and interest in us whilst others have said it is a waste of time and can be a big disaster. More workshops next year as there was a high turnout, maybe we could make them more interactive? STaG Bear will be moved to a Fresher’s fair day to make him more useful. BBQ went well and we should think about doing this again next year.
8. Other Business
1st Year reps should be elected soon
Improv tea-time – an email will be sent out to see who is interested.
Tom E and Emily it’s your turn to feed us next week!
