BORDERLINE/ PERFORMANCE FESTIVAL

Artist led initiative is looking for volunteers to bring the project to completion.

The Borderline/ Performance Festival is a small scale multiple site international live art festival taking place in Norwich in June 2013. The festival is organised by third year visual studies student and performer Elena Italia. The project aims to promote challenging contemporary art practice, encourage the travel of artists to Norwich and present an artist-led alternative to traditional arts festivals.

The project is entirely run on a volunteer basis, the artists are performing in kind to support the event, and the festival is still seeking sponsorship and funding. The festival is therefore looking to recruit volunteers to help with the organisation and delivery of the event. Anyone with time to spare and a will to get involved is welcome, although creative individuals with design or photography skills and persons with experience in event management would be particularly appreciated. Below are listed some of the positions the festival would like to recruit.


Crew/ Runners:
the event is looking to recruit volunteers to help with the artists setting up and taking down of the work. Individuals volunteering in this position would work with a professional event manager, AV technicians and artists and gain experience and insight in the set up of an event.

Promotion and Distribution :
the project is also hoping to recruit volunteers to help distribute flyers and posters and generally promote the event . This role's responsibilities may involve liaising with the press or uploading online listings. This position would suit individuals interested in learning skills and gaining experience in the promotion field

Documentation team :
the festival offered to provide documentation to some of the artists travelling from abroad, and is now looking to recruit photographers and film makers interested in performance documentation to cover the whole of the event. Film and video students are particularly welcome to apply for these positions.

Stage managers:

Each of the festival's venues will require a stage manager ( or front of house ) to look after the running of the event. Individuals with experience in event or stage management would be extremely welcome to volunteer in these positions, but individuals with an interest but no experience in the field are welcome to apply too.

Site manager
The festival is finally hoping to recruit someone to work in conjunction with the organisers to overlook the overall running of the event on the night and help with the coordination of the event itself.

If you are interested in volunteering in any of those positions or would just like to help us please email borderlineperformancefestival@gmail.com or elenaitalia@live.com
Cvs and other supporting information are very welcome too.
