2. Artistic Policy
• What is the purpose and concept behind our festival?
•
This festival is an international arts festival which brings the local
community together.
• The purpose of this festival is to share Cranford’s talent with our
communities as it is an international festival. The whole idea of this
festival is so that everyone comes together and share each others
culture as well as their talents.
• What are the requirements that will drive decisions made?
•
This festival is based around the 2012 Olympics which are being held
in London next year. This inspires the festival to have acts which
involves different talents from different cultures and countries
which reflect that this is an international event. As this is an Arts
festival we want to engage our target in a range of different
performances including dancing, singing, bands and acting.

7. Staging Layout and Dimensions
• We are aiming for the stage to be about 8m by 3.5m and for it to be
in front of the line of trees in front of the Concert Hall. We will
cover the fences of the picnic area to provide a safe secure place to
store equipment and a place for performs to warm up.
• This leaves about 5 meters for the mats and walkway.
• I believe there is a suitable power supply from the concert hall to
power the sound equipment. We will provide matts for people to sit
on but they may use a chair if they have one. We must make sure
there is a suitable walkway for the public which has yet to be
agreed.
• How much space do we need to leave for walkers by?
• How close to the 8m by 3.5 m stage can we have?

9. Sound Requirements
• We don’t need an excess amount of equipment but the basics are:
Speakers, Microphone's, Mixer, Amplifier, Power cable, CD player.
• We are trying to get a DJ who will play music between acts and run
any music the acts require.
• At the moment we are unsure as to the type of acts we are going to
have so equipment will need to be in ‘reachable’ distance all day.
• I don’t think there is a cost involved in using the equipment as I
believe we are using the school equipment. This is yet to be
confirmed.
• Where are we allowed to position the speakers?
