On now at the Hayes Theatre, Sydney, Flat Earthers, a brand new musical that is not just a kaleidoscope of colour, but a wacky adventure into (cyber) space and time.
Production shots of the dress rehearsal are an important tool for promotional purposes of any show. They are also used to help illustrate the program that is sold on performance nights and stand as a valuable document of the cast, lighting and staging of a particular production. In this case, due to difficulties with scheduling me for the dress rehearsal, I was actually photographing the first public performance. This meant I was limited in my movements. I normally move quite a bit in the auditorium when photographing performance. You want to vary the angles and are constantly searching for interesting lighting effects. That said, you usually work more the front/centre because the show is constructed that way….the audience is out the front.
