  Events Manager

  Final Year Project: Working with a team of 3 other people I have organised ‘Art de la Scene. Journey through the Decades’ - Dance and Drama showcase for the Staffordshire Festival of Performing Arts. Each year the Festival attracts over 1000 visitors from the local community and lasts 4 days with a programm covering Dance and Drama, Film, Culture, Music and Art. I have organised this event from very beginning, starting with the name of the event, through finding the suitable venue to contacting the performers, working to the deadlines and working on a small budget. On the day I was managing the volunteers and have been appointed as a stage manager. I made sure performances are running on schedule and overall showcase is going smooth. The event has been very successful, attracting 280 spectators and receiving great feedback from performers and public. Show less
