IPP pre-production

Hello darlings all!

Just a few notes from the last class, for some of you as news, and some of you to recap what was arranged.

First of all a few dates:

Next production meeting: Tuesday 28th April, at 6pm.

• Please bring to meeting a list of technical requirements for your show for Tracy who will look after the festival (!!!)

Performance dates: Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 May, two shows each, and performances starting in the late afternoon, running into the late evening.

Spaces, provisionally, were decided as follows:

• Boiler room 20-30min performances: Joonas, Edie, Elena, Gemma
• Pinter 30min performance: Owen
• Lecture theatre: Dimitrios
• Promenade from the canal to Boiler upstairs (or Lockkeeper's): Katja
• Helena and Andrew?
  

Publicity - Katja volunteered to co-ordinate, and would like to invite Andrew the whizz-kid media-superhero design-guru to help? Pretty please?

• Phase One: 'Save the date' pdf document. This should be ready by Thursday 16 April, so that we will give a month's notice. We need an image that will represent the MA(y) Festival as whole. Any suggestions anyone? A maypole? Please send ideas, jpegs etc to me, and I will collate them onto the blog for a decision? (Andrew, I suggest we meet to make this document on Wednesday 15 or Thursday 16, yours, mine, at the college?)
• Phase Two: Poster/leaflet with the titles, blurbs, and times? (or just times and a link to a website for a more detailed programme?) Again, decisions about a main image (either the same or an extension/expansion/reference to the 'save the date' one? Should be ready by Friday 1 May - gives two weeks for marketing.)

Arts Foyer - Owen and Edie volunteered

• The idea is to have the audience arrive at the Arts building, get their tickets, drinks, maps, and other info for the shows, and have a nice chilled area between performances. We need food, drink, tickets, stewards, and a space for the Catalogues to be accessible, perhaps an installation of sorts? Matt/Tracy/David to help out with LD/SND. ANy ideas about it, please contact Edie and Owen.

Stewards - Dinitrios volunteered to co-ordinate

• As the campus is labyrinthine, it would be good to have some helping hands on the day, kindly ushers to take people back and forth from the Arts to Boiler etc. It was suggested the part-timers would be asked first, then other PG students, and of course you can bring your own. Please co-ordinate this with Dim.

I think this is all, please someone add more stuff if I've forgotten something?

I look forward to seeing everyone again.

BIG KISS
Katja
