Well it is that time of year again when the annual Southeast Theatre Conference happens.  We are in Lexington, KY this year.

Today I had an opportunity to attend numerous sessions some good some not so good, some met expectations, some surpassed expectations, like the session hosted by Shawn Paul Evans.

He gave a presentation on new technology for Stage Managers.  It had some really good ideas and gadgets that are not only good for SM’s but for other theatre people as well.  Here is his presentation in PDF and Evernote, and a few other forms.

My favorite techno-gadget that was the Livescribe Pen. It is definitely something I want to try and see if I can incorporate it into my workflow.

Along those lines here are a few other related type devices that do a few similar & but also different things.  Canson Papershow & Inklet — Enjoy the techno stuff. 🙂

This week, about half of our department is at the Southeastern Theatre Conference (SETC) which this year is in Lexington, Kentucky.  This conference is held each year for theatre professionals, academics and students from all over the Southeastern part of the US. (Officially Virginia through Louisiana, but there are people here from all over the country).  Workshops and Keynote addresses, performances and committee meetings, networking and auditions and job contact meetings from Thursday morning through Saturday night.  Thousands of theatre people all under one roof.  Two of Belhaven’s performers are auditioning in front of more than a hundred companies and graduate programs looking for summer work, further education, or beyond.  Many other students are interviewing or presenting portfolios looking for work in technical or production related positions.

Stay tuned for posts about our individual experiences at SETC 2010!
