The next project

The showcase in February 2007 is your opportunity to learn MORE about any of these aspects of the arts: - programming, marketing, technical stuff, design, stage managing, audience development etc etc (as well as a chance to perform as well) - By taking on one or more of these roles within the teams that need to exist for a successful event:

• Programming team (you’ll make creative decisions about who will be performing in the showcase, length of performance, running time, ticket costs to public etc)
• Marketing team (you’ll be in charge of designing and distributing professionally made flyers and posters and audience development initiatives! YES THERE IS A BUDGET FOR THE SHOWCASE!!!)
• Technical team (We’ll need a stage manager to run backstage on the night and in rehearsals as well as a director for the evening – who amongst other things will make sure things run smoothly – you get to tell Clocktower Front of House staff what to do!)

If you know which team you want to join let me know as soon as possible so I can help set up meetings with staff and organise basic training for you!

You can arrange mini-events in your exhibition Croydonnow which would give you good practice for the showcase! You can plan an event in Croydonnow on any Wed/Fri/Sat throughout November and December.

For anyone doing the Silver Arts Award – check your packs – it’s very easy to complete the award by organising a mini-event in the exhibition space! If you’re interested in taking on the challenge of the GOLD ARTS AWARD then this is another possibility and is achievable through doing the showcase (but you would probably be locked up for being crazy too!)
