Photo by Robert Miller We do it all for ou Complimenting actors and getting audience into the action is goal of stagecraft, and the method is creating 'real thing' he audience was also the prime concern for stagecraft students who came up with everything from a giant Santa's lap for the Christmas assembly to a trap door for the fall production of The Matchmaker. Senior Angie Cook, stagecraft student and technical director for Encore, said that getting the audience into the action means re-creating everything. lt has to look real so the audience will feel like they are really there, she said. Angie added that creating the real thing isn't always easy. Taking a high school person and making him look 50 years old is hard to do, she explained. The make-up has to 'age' him and make him look natural at the same time. He has to look real for the audience to accept him. Every member of the audience must be able to see and hear everything that happens on the stage. Angie said that this requir- ement complicates set assignments such as the trap door that was used in The Matchmaker. Our stage doesn't have a lower level, so the trap door had to be designed under a platform, she said. The scenes on top of the platform, which was four feet tall, had to be visible for everyone in the audience. At the same time, the platform had to be big enough to hide actors and crew members who supplied everything from voices to exploding tomato cans on cue.'l Angie said that while the sets are important, they can't take away from the actors and action. Everything must compliment everything else, she said. The set is built around the actors, the actors use the set, and the audience can enjoy the show, - By Denise Clay 62!Acaclemics STYLE AND GRACE - Michael Tidwell, a dance instructor from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, joins the Drama II class in an exercise to improve students' ballet techniques.
