Led by Juniorprofessor Ben Sassen & Kyd Campbell

class will be held in English

In this Werkmodul students will learn about planning and promoting multi-media events. Working together as part of a team, they will plan the 2010 edition of the Mani.Fest. The Mani.Fest is an annual event offering artists from Weimar who work with media and performing arts a platform to present their work. The event takes place over one evening during the Bauhaus' Summary, and in previous years has featured dance, theatre and live electronic music performances. Building on the success of last year’s Mani.Fest media performance showcase, this year we will aim to continue developing the Mani.Fest brand whilst once again creating a top quality audio/visual live event with an exciting program of Weimar acts. (See MANI.FEST for more details of last year’s event)

Students joining this Werkmodul will have the opportunity to gain practical experience in:

- Creating and managing promotional campaigns - Working as part of an event production team - Managing an event budget - Installing equipment and technically producing live multi-media events - Using video to document live events - Booking and liaising with artists - Organising and working with venues - Managing relationships with sponsors

To make Mani.Fest 2010 happen we are looking for a range of students who are able to work in different roles, including: graphic design, PR and press work, artist liaison, managing sponsors, VJing, web design and team leading. If one of these sounds like the job you would like to do then come join us!
