 Before the show week, the technical director, lighting and sound designers will arrange meetings with the directors to discuss details of the technical requirements on the show, and also attend rehearsals to plan ideas for lighting and sound.
 The week preceding the show week, most theatrical shows will have an 'Intensive Week' within which they have more rehearsals to get the show up to performance standard.
+In the weeks leading up to the show week, some of the set building and painting takes place. This will be scheduled as needed for the show, depending on how much needs to be built for the show. Generally, there will be several sessions for painting the flats if they are being used. These can be joined by anyone taking part in the show, not just those who signed up for doing stage.
 =====Typical Show Week=====
 For a typical week, for a show that takes up the full week slot, there is a standard structure.
 ====1. Sunday====

 As this starts after the final show, this often ends around midnight to 1am, depending on the complexity of the show. However, it is surprising how quickly everything disappears. Once everything is packed away, crew awards are handed out, and people head off to the after show party, if one is being hosted (this is entirely optional)

-======Small Show Week======
-Some shows, such as comdey performances, magic shows and arial showcases require far less set up time, and often only have 1 to 3 performances. These shows have verying schedules, and information on the exact arrangements for the show will be provided on the forum when you sign up.
-The main differences between a very low tech show and a typical week are that it starts mid week (rather than a Sunday), and the get in, tech and dress runs are often combined into one night (if there even is a dress run)
-An example of a very low tech schedule e.g. comedy is as follows
-====1. Thursday ====
-**Get in and tech run**\\
-Set up any lights and sound required, there usually is very little stage requirements
-Lights probably won't need any more programming than a magic sheet.
-====2. Friday ====
-**Evening Performance**\\
-Check everything is working before the show. End time is dependent on the show length
-====3. Saturday ====
-**Evening Performance**\\
-After the performance the get out is usually very quick, but anything out must be put away ready for the next show the following day
