Disha Edge
The community stage: Stage coordinator
A fictional school stage crew plans a spoken-word event. This is a paper coordination exercise, with no electrical handling or live sound adjustment. You play the stage coordinator and work through 9 short levels, about 14 minutes in all. Where you start: A cue says what happens, who starts it and how others know. An unclear handoff can stop an event. The work connects to careers such as event production coordinator and sound technician.
Your path
Prepare a cue, coordinate a handoff and keep a fallback.
