## The Drama Collective (DC)
### Shakesoc

### WUDS
The [DC](https://www.warwicksu.com/societies-sports/societies/dramacollective/) was formed to be a larger negotiating body for its consitutent societies.
For example, WAC allocates 2 [show slots](../wiki/warwick-drama/shows#wac-show-slots) to the DC each term.
Without the DC, none of the constituent societies would have the resources to put on 2 shows a term themselves. The DC production manager runs a [panel](../shows/panel#panel) for each of these slots.
Show teams can submit packs to DC panel, once they get backing from one of the DC societies. The DC has a [constitution](https://www.warwicksu.com/resources/dramacollective/Drama-Collective-Constitution-updated-2023/) that all its societies are meant to follow.
The DC also provide "cupboard manager" exec roles to organise and upkeep its two storage locations, the [DC cupboard](../wiki/tech-crew/storage#the-dc-cupboard) in WAC, and the [Avon cupboard](../wiki/tech-crew/storage#the-avon-cupboard).
