1. Girl Fawkes festival Review
Our Creative and Media Class visit the South Bank on the 5 th of November 2010 to. We went
there to help the Girl Fawkes Festival with their promotion of their festival and also to know
how festival is run and to experience the excitement, work of it all. We were given a brief
statement of things we will be doing throughout the evening. We were also given a sheet
that has the event order and what will be going on at what time. Outside the building where
the main event is held there was an event called the fire dancers. This event was
deliberately performed outside the main building event -despite the rain that fell- to tempt
people into attending the real event. While the people were watching the fire dancers we
(the creative and media student) was given an order to give out leaflet that as the
information about the whole festival and what will be next. The fire dancers finally finished
their performance with no incidents in between. We went back inside the main event and
seated the audiences where there is an available space. I (Abisola) was given a box of sweet
to give out to the audience who are waiting patiently for the upcoming performance that
was to take place in the building. Unfortunately couldn’t stay for the whole festival but we
got to watch some few performances and storytelling that makes the audience burst out
laughing including me.
When looking back at what we did at the festival and what the people who made it happen,
I have learnt a lot of things that can be applied to our own festival (Central Fest). Overall I
have enjoyed myself and I hope that our festival is as brilliant as the Girl Fawkes Festival.
