Fisher Center at Bard | SummerScape 2023-2024

I have spent the past two summers in upstate New York, working in production management at the Fisher Center. I started as the production management assistant in 2023, but moved in to the associate production manager role for the 2024 summer season. I am also fortunate enough to now be on a year-round contract, participating in the design process before arriving on-site in June. I worked on a 4-person production management team. I assisted with financial tracking for production expenses, maintained detailed notes for a variety of projects, coordinated space/schedule reservations. In production management, I am lucky enough to work on all aspects of the summer, with experiences in dance, theatre, opera, orchestra, and non-traditional venues.
