Sison will share her knowledge and expertise on the production process, from inception to fruition, based on the production book. Workshop participants will learn the practical application of pre-production, rehearsal, performance, and post-production. Plays professionally produced by CCP’s Vigin Labfest will serve as a demonstration of the four stages of production.
Sison has been the Production Stage Manager of Juilliard School, a world leader in music and performing arts programs, since the year 2000. It was in CCP where she first established her career in stage management. Sison is also a professional voice over artist and a grant recipient of the Asian Cultural Council (ACC) this year.
A stage manager, although not visible and not always recognized on stage, is one of, if not the most important player in a production. Through this workshop, Sison hopes to further promote the stage management profession in the Philippines.
