Wednesday 15th November Further SToRMS Information The client has sent us some more information regarding a leaflet they would like us to hand out at the end of our TIE piece. It highlights some of the main points we have discussed during our piece and is useful information for us to make sure we reinforce these points that the client has picked out, as well as giving us some extra resources and ideas to integrate into the performance during the rest of the rehearsal process.
