create and rehearse theatre productions in a better way
Working as a choreographer, finding the right spot in the music on a CD to start a rehearsal can be a very time consuming nuisance.
Because I was sick of losing so much time, I started to program a small app which helped me in my choreographic rehearsals.
It was slowly getting bigger and bigger, always adding functionality which I could use for my own rehearsals.
Showing it to fellow choreographers and directors, the feedback was always the same: finally a solution!
The biggest boost to get serious about it was the interest of Jean-Christophe Maillot, director of Ballets de Monte-Carlo who absolutely wanted this system for his company.
In the beginning I traveled to Monte-Carlo to set it up there, but of course on the long run there was no alternative than putting my App on the AppStore.
Later also other departments got interested and it is used now by choreographers,directors, ballet masters, light designers and stage directors.
Both apps, stage.create and stage.notes keep evolving since I keep adding new functionality which I am testing in my own rehearsals, getting also feedback and requests for new functions from my great beta testers in several theatres and departments.

smart.stage.create is a tool for theatre productions and rehearsals, but can be used for a lot of things.
It basically connects a timeline in a video or music with other elements (cues) giving you a great overview at a production.
It is used for rehearsals where you can find positions in a video based on names, for planning light design where you can preview your timing or for archiving productions with all their details.
Check out the tutorials to see all the possibilities.
smart.stage.notes is a tool for recording corrections or notes while being able to look at something undisturbed.
it was created out of the necessity of giving corrections at stage rehearsals.
the problem there is: if you write down notes you will lose a part of the action while writing.
So I developped thiis app with a small but important twist to a voice recorder:
if you tilt the iPhone so the microphone is close to your mouth, it will record. When you move it back to a neutral position, recording is stopped.
After recording it transcribes your voice to text so you can see you corrections.
Sometimes you don’t have much time to sort your notes before having to give it to actors/dancers/singers.
That’s why it has a function which will sort the notes by key words.
So let’s say „Carmen“ can have all her corrections right away, not having to wait that you skip through all your notes to find her specific corrections.
