Associated Designers of Canada

Hosted by Means of Production (Crystal Lee, Pip Bradford, Rebecca Vandevelde, Laura Philipps)

In this discussion we will examine different models and schedules for how we put shows into theatre spaces. Can productions be staged without 10/12s? What happens if there isn&#x27;t time to complete all notes? Can we make this most complex of production periods more humane and less taxing?Speakers: Crystal Lee, Pip Bradford, Rebecca Vandevelde &amp; Laura PhilippsThis conversation is coordinated by Means of Production, a collective of Production Managers and Technical Directors who have been working together to reexamine the way we build shows. www.pmtd.ca Crystal Lee has worked at the National Arts Centre on the management team, and began her independent career in 2018 as a freelance Production Manager in Toronto where she received a Harold Award for her contributions to the community. Crystal currently works full-time with Why Not Theatre as their Production and Technical Manager.Pip Bradford is an independent producer, production manager, and stage manager who works with many companies in Toronto, including Anandam DanceTheatre, The Toronto Comic Arts Festival, 7a*11d Performance Art Festival, SummerWorks, Luminato, Red Sky Performance, Nightwood Theatre, and Theatre Passe Muraille. You’ve probably seen something she’s done, but you almost certainly didn’t see her do it. Pip also creates installation art with Rebecca Vandevelde as Art is Hard Productions, most recently reprising their installation BLANKET FORT for The Bentway for Family Day 2020. In her spare time, Pip works as a member of the Means of Production, a collective of freelance production staff seeking to promote values-based production work while advocating for equitable working conditions and providing resources to the independent production community.Rebecca Vandevelde is an arts worker based in Toronto, working mainly as a freelance lighting designer and production manager, often taking small indie shows on tour, and sometimes making/curating events, spaces and installation-based experiments with Art is Hard.Laura Philipps is a Producer and Production Manager of theatre, dance and multimedia works. She is the lead producer of extended reality app-based works ‘Henry G20’ and ‘Rellas Cambrian Dream’. Upcoming projects include ‘Perceptual Archaeology’ for blind and sighted audiences with Fire and Rescue Team at Crow’s Theatre and ‘Anahita’s Republic’ with Bustle and Beast at Factory Theatre. Laura is working with Pratibha Arts to pilot a shared producing model for independent diverse dance artists.---Building on the success of the online training workshops we presented during the first year of the pandemic and the 2021 Level Up Symposium, ADC is returning with a comprehensive and wide-ranging program of online workshops and conversations designed for live performance designers to amplify their practice. Workshops will roll out from November 2022 through March 2023, and are open to everyone, both members and non-members across Canada and beyond. Attendance is free of charge. Advance registration is required.ADC is grateful for the support of this program from the Government of Canada and Canada Council for the Arts.
