Day 6

Last full day at the studio with the company today... This week has gone really quick!
I spent the morning in a meeting with Catherine and Victoria, who were discussing more organisational development and finances. They are currently contacting more people for creative development and are hoping to take another project to Lancaster, and their 'Bring the Happy project to a festival in London.
After lunch I helped Catherine with making some bookings for their move to Coventry next month and have agreed to help finalise the bookings with all their accommodation next week.
Late afternoon the company had 2 women come to the studio for an informal audition for the part of a Nymph in their project 'The Book of Beasts'. I sat with them as they talked through the show and outlined the character before reading through the script. They chose the second woman as they had met before and she knew the show, though they are keen to keep in contact with the first as they may want to work with her for future projects.
I spent the last part of the day talking to Victoria about how they started their company - which was really interesting. She has given me lots of tips and advise (with regards to business plans and arts councils) and has very kindly said that I can contact her in the future should I need further help/advise with starting off any projects.
I will be keeping in contact with Catherine via email and during this next week I have agreed to continue with the tasks I've been helping out on  - as the rest of the company are in Paris and she is very busy!
