Work Experience Placement Day One.

I started my work experience placement in the wardrobe department of Salisbury Playhouse today. I was slightly nervous to begin with but I settled into the tasks very easily as the staff were really friendly and welcoming. I feel really excited about the various tasks I will be given as the team are working on a show that starts soon. I feel that my confidence will grow more and more working in a professional environment and I am pleased that this experience will give me a much better view of how a show comes together before opening night. I found it interesting how various challenges were overcome in terms of sourcing and buying costume pieces. Also today helped me realise the importance of labelling and organising costumes correctly so that it is easier and more efficient for a dresser when the show opens; particularly within a show that has many quick changes.
