Maybe you're new to theatre, or maybe you're just curious. But do you actually know what happens during tech week? It's one of the strangest, most intense stretches of making a show, and most audiences have no idea it exists.

Shuyang Zhou builds worlds that exist only for a moment. For the opera Ballymore, in a theatre with no fly system and almost no wing space, she built a house into the back of a mountain, then rotated the whole thing 180 degrees.

You know the Leeroy Jenkins type: the one who charges in, ignores the plan, and blows up the whole team. Props master Jay Duckworth, the Proptologist, has worked with a few.

Last time we built the portfolio. Now the part almost everyone skips: actually getting it seen. Because your portfolio is not the whole thing. It's the tip of the iceberg.

You get it in front of people two ways: you go to them, and you go where they're already looking.

Sunshine De Castro says her name was the first sign. She came to lighting design sideways, through acting, through crew work, through the moment she watched a scene bloom as color wrapped around it.

Sunshine De Castro came to lighting design sideways, through acting, through crew work, through the moment a scene bloomed as color wrapped around it. She chases the invisible: light that moves with the story.

I've reviewed portfolios for over fifteen years. I get them every year from students applying to my program, and I've built websites since before I even worked in theatre. So here's what makes me stay on a portfolio, and what makes me click away.

A student asked me today how to start working internationally. I could see what they were picturing: a portfolio so impressive that some theatre across the world just has to say yes.

The border between you and the world was never your work.

“I see faces in almost everything.”

For puppet designer Zack Buchman, almost anything can become a character. What began as a childhood instinct eventually became Furry Puppet Studio.

Meet five Latinx artists who can't be contained, makers who live across disciplines and carry their full, layered selves into everything they create. Actor and author, performer and director, artist and activist, they move between forms.

For costume designer Rodrigo Sosa Bernal, creativity begins long before the pencil touches the page.
It is built from images, music, memories, stories, historical research, and a lifelong fascination with fabric.

For costume designer Rodrigo Sosa Bernal, that is where the work begins: between research, memory, texture, and the unconscious search for the divine spark.

Tomorrow on Skene.

How do you build a career when nobody knows your name? No reputation, no network, no one to vouch for you, and a field that feels like everyone already knows each other. I know that feeling exactly, because I've started from zero not once, but twice.
