XIII- Historian:
The role of the historian for Teatrotaller is to document the trajectory
of the group by taking pictures, writing anecdotes, collecting copies of the
tickets and programs, creating an album for that performance, and taping the
performances.
This can done by either a person who decides to participate in Teatrotaller
only as a historian or by someone who is already involved in the production
at some other level.
A. Duties of the Historian:
Take pictures of the rehearsals and the performance (s).
Keep copies of the tickets, flyers, programs, letters of acknowledgment,
newspaper articles, and any other materials that might be interesting as documentation
of the groups work. All of these should be kept an album created for Teatrotaller.
Write down a brief description of the production process, with anecdotes
and interesting information about the production. This may be handed in as the
final paper for SPANL 301.
It is important that the historian attend as many Teatrotaller activities
as possible so that these can be documented.
The historian is in charge of buying film for the camera and getting
it developed.
The historian must also rent the video camera prior to the performance
and make sure that it works properly. There should be
a-) Either an extension cord and a receptor to plug it into.
b-) A charged battery powerful enough for the length of the performance
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS SET A COUPLE OF HOURS PRIOR TO THE PERFORMANCE.
IN THE PAST WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RECORD PERFORMANCES BECAUSE THE BATTERY HAS
NOT BEEN CHARGED.
The historian must also tape the performance or request someone to do
it.
The historian will coordinate efforts with the publicity team to provide
materials and update the webpage on a once a semester basis.
