Weatherwax2: Adding info on 2021 remote productions

==Biography==
Renata is someone with an everlasting passion for choral singing and no formal music education. Has been involved in every LOpSoc production between 2014 and 2017. Webmaster for the society in 2015/16, 2016/17 and 2017/18, was also the person who started the LOpSoc tradition of vocal workshops, leading them between 2015 and 2017.

Additional roles in the society include: producer in [[H.M.S. Pinafore 2015]]; musical director in [[Gondoliers 2016]] and [[Gondoliers 2016 (Harrogate)]]; head producer & choreographer in [[Mikado 2017]] and award-winning [[Mikado 2017 (Harrogate)]]; technical crew for [[Half a Sixpence 2017]], remote graphic artist in [[Princess Ida 2019]], and remote director in [[Double Feature 2021]]. Has also received the society's Professor Lilley award (2016) and Life Membership award (2017) for her contributions to the society.

After graduating from the society, could often be found lurking in the the back of the Annex with the LOpSoc camera on Saturday performances. However, 2020/21 held something else in store. With the society going online for the year, Renata returned remotely, arranging and rehearsing a "chorus react" medley of songs from G&S operettas (you can [https://soundcloud.com/lopsoc/gilbert-and-sullivan-medley-2020 listen to it here]). Also directed and edited the remote [[Double Feature 2021]], which resulted in audio-drama recordings of [[Cox and Box]] and [[The Carp]]. You can listen to those [[here (link placeholder)]].

A fitting encore and farewell to the society. LOpSoc was a welcoming family in a strange place, and Renata will forever treasure the memories and friends made here.

=== Useless trivia ===
Holds the society record of "largest time spent preparing a pointless joke for a production", having spent two months painting a massive portrait of the Baratarian Kings for [[Gondoliers 2016]] that was visible on stage for just a few seconds. Another notable society record is the "largest amount of time spent crafting set decoration", with the months-long origami folding for the productions of [[Mikado 2017]] and its Harrogate counterpart.
