Hey, I’m Izzy and I’d love to apply to fill the role of your communications officer!!!

As a second year Theatre and Performance student this is my first year being a part of TG, and student theatre. My only regret is waiting till second year to jump into it. Performing in cagebirds in semester one was the most beautiful experience, I formed some truly special friendships, and an amazing bond with my cast and prod team. I was so proud of the piece we created, and the show really reminded me why I am so passionate about theatre. I would love to be on committee this year and have the opportunity to give back to a society which has given me so many amazing memories and make it possible for us to all keep creating incredible theatre and memories next year!!!

I will work well as a communications officer as I am organized and productive so would always stay on top of emails, responding to enquiries, prod team applications and show proposals. This year I have balanced a part time job, being part of TG and OT as well as Freestyle dance society so I am confident that I will not struggle to balance being committed to my role alongside my degree. As well as performing I have experience in marketing. This is an important skill which I will use to make sure that all shows, events and workshops are publicized well so that the turnouts are great. I will focus on how we market our shows next year as the shows which have had strong marketing campaigns this year have sold brilliantly, and I know we would all love to perform to more full-out audiences! I would love to work with prod teams to ensure that their shows are given good photography opportunities, and the show material is placed all around uni on boards and posters as well as on social media and platforms like Leeds student radio.

I have experience working as a director and producer, both in my course and externally. I completed a short placement working for riptide theatre company last semester and am producing a show for LS6 Theatre at Edinburgh fringe this year. This will be helpful when working as committee to pick prod teams and shows as I have a clear understand of this side of shows too.

Overseeing the email, I would love to set up a weekly newsletter, although events are published on social media it can be tricky to stay up to date with everything that is going on. A clearly organized newsletter, informing our members of important dates, events and opportunities, both in the society and around Leeds, would be very beneficial. I love going out and am known as a bit of a party animal. Events such as winter drinks have been such highlights for me, helping everyone to bond and just been so much fun. Helping to publicize them so as many people as possible can come is something I’d love to do. I hope it will also allow more people to get involved as they know what's going on in the society. This is something which might have encouraged me to get more involved in my first year, as a fresher it can be very overwhelming to know where to start and what events and auditions to attend so hopefully this could help.

Finally, I just love TG and the opportunities which the society has given me so I would work super hard on committee to ensure the society continues to function well. I would be so excited to give something back to the amazing group of people who make up TG!!!!
