The Story Board
Embodying the meaning of organised chaos, Angel Tan (She/her) is an aspiring assistant director with experience both in theatre and film as an assistant stage manager and production assistant. Having loved the creative arts since young and consuming all kinds of media, Angel shares a genuine love and dedication for bringing art to life in collaboration with fellow practitioners.
Throughout her time at Queensalnd University of Technology studying the BFA in Technical Production, Angel obtained unique experiences in a placement with Queensland Theatre and also completed various gigs as a production assistant in high profile film productions.
With a persistent passion in the theatre and film industries, Angel intends to ultimately pursue a career as an assistant director. Currently, she will continue to dedicate her time honing her skills as she works her way through the industry and builds an understanding not only of her own role in the space, but the significance and connection it has in conjunction with others.
The Story Board
There is chaos in creation, a story to be told in the messy web of intersecting lives.
As an assistant director, one must understand the nuances of not only the job, but the individual. Human interactions and collaboration are the keystone of art and creation. By embodying organised chaos, The Storyboard, creates a cluedo-esque experience that invites you to be both entertained and challenged as you enter the world of a fictional production, as well as the chaotic mind of Angel.
This engaging and interactive evidence board installation allows you to enter the creative process of a show. Much like an assistant director, you will need to understand the significance of not only the technical abilities of your peers, but also who they are as people. You will see the way things can be planned to the most minute details and still be derailed in any way possible.
Art is a mixed bag of planned and unplanned - sometimes it works out, and sometimes it really doesn’t. However, as any creative does - and as Angel will continue to do in her career - we identify the issues, hone our skills and persevere.
