Stage Managers: Moving from Theatre to Ceremonies
My first experience of a ceremony was in 2008 when I was an ASM for the London Handover in Beijing – (the big red bus with Leona Lewis singing and Beckham kicking a football from it!) Originally out in Beijing as Stage Manager for the National Youth Theatre (who were singing the UK National Anthem), I threw myself at the handover stage management team for the 10 days we were out there and offered myself up in any way that could make me even the tiniest bit useful.
