INTERIM GRADE 1 10/10/13 Assessor feedback	Joe, for task 1 part 1 you discuss some employment opportunities and functions in the Performing Arts.  You refer to a range of jobs and explain their roles well. You also explain how some of the jobs are linked to others. Tailors and Dressmakers: Both of these roles involve making new garments. The chances are that these workers would have undertaken an apprenticeship in the clothing industry and used this skills to get into theatre. Cutters: Cutters are assistants to the dressmakers. They cut out the patterns that are then sewn together to make costumes. You suggest progression routes Dressers: Dressers help the performers into their costume whilst having to make quick changes. People without much experience can undertake this role, although this job is usually used by those who have done theatre training and want to move up the ladder into qualified wardrobe work. You comment critically on their responsibilities and functions. During Rehearsals, DSM’s are responsible for maintaining the day’s schedule and to inform anyone involved in the production/performance of any changes. They are also responsible for making note of the time that each person involved in the performance leaves the theatre each night. They must inform the library staff when people get to the theatre, as well as when they leave. Before a rehearsal, they must prepare the stage by turning on the lights and contacting actors and crew members who are late. They must follow the script during rehearsals as the main job for a DSM on the night will be ‘following the book’ so it’s important that they know the performance extensively. Any changes to the script that happen in rehearsals will be written into the script by the DSM, and they must cue the actors after they are off book. As you can see, DSM’s have a very important job and have to do a lot of things. For task 1 part 2 you create a database for a theatre company GravityTheatre. You describe and explain the services provided by a range of organisations in the performing arts and how some of them interrelate with other area of the industry Props and Set Specialists: We will be hiring and buying props for our shows from different companies, as well as sourcing props from our own homes and previous shows. The three Businesses we will be using are the following: http://www.props4shows.co.uk/ http://www.borderstudio.com/ http://www.scenetec.co.uk/ We will be using Props 4 Shows for props and we will be using Border Studio to hire cloth back drops. Scenetec will be the ones who make our set. All of these businesses will have to work closely with the Artistic Director as it's he who has a vision of what he wants the show to look like; he will sit down with them and tell them what he wants and then they will make it.	grade achieved P1,M1   P3, M3	Date 6/11/13
Assessor’s summary: strengths and areas for development	Task 1 part 1 is strong – a good range of jobs well-described and often how some of them are linked. M1. Develop this to D1 by expanding the range of roles you describe in detail – you can also suggest more progression routes Task 2 part 2 you create a medium – sized database for a theatre company, you explain their roles well and sometimes how they interrelate Develop it into D3 by making it into a much larger list of services continuing to say clearly for each WHY they are there. Continue to develop your comments on how more of them can interrelate.
Learner’s comment and action plan (3 targets)	-       Go into more detail on the Costume department  instead of the brief summaries I have used. -       Include progression routes. -       Make a larger list of services and why we need them.
