Consultations with the TV director, dramaturgist who are to arrange the program, production about project finance, set designers and costumers about the story, interiors and exteriors selection, with the cameraman about manner of recording and lighting a TV ballet, etc. It would be ideal if the choreography student were in attendance with their own TV dance theatre project, implemented in collaboration with the HAMU Composition Dept. and with a FAMU director, cameraman and production.
