Fashion Show Rehearsals and Show Day!!

RUNWAY SHOW REHEARSALS
 
Always be on time!!!
 

• Pay attention! Do not chat with friends.  For professional jobs-you are getting paid, so act like it!  Talking during rehearsal is rude and unprofessional.
• When you are not in a scene, sit down somewhere and watch.  Your director may ask you to do the same thing in the next scene and if you were not listening, you will be lost.
• Be where you are supposed to be, so things will run smoothly.
• Take a note card and pen to take notes on choreography;  who you follow onto the runway, who you walk with, which side of the stage you enter and exit, time to arrive, and any last minute changes or instructions.
• Rehearse your parts in the show mentally several times before the actual show, to help you remember the choreography.
• Rehearsal is a good place to make notes on the people you meet.

 
 
 
RUNWAY SHOWS...THE DAY!!!
 

•  When you get to a show, immediately find the lineup, line your clothes up in the order that you are to wear them, line up your shoes and accessories.
• Clip off any tags that may show and put them in baggies on the proper hangers, so that the    merchants will not have to make new tags.
•  Unzip or unbutton the garments.
• Never sit, eat, drink, or smoke in the merchant’s garments.
• Be dressed in your first outfit, at least 20 minutes before show time.
• The second you are off the stage, start unbuttoning and running to get into your next outfit.
• USE YOUR ZIP HOOD!
• The minute you are dressed in your next outfit, get in line! It is much better to be early than to miss your cue!
• Always find out who your dresser is as soon as you arrive (if they provide one!), and go over the line up with him/her to make sure he/she is aware of any quick changes you may have.  This will prepare him/her to give you the assistance you need.
• Be yourself and have fun!
• When the show is over, clean up after yourself, hang up all your garments, and return the tags and accessories to their proper bags.
• Thank the director and merchant for having you in the show, and give them a thank-you note.
