We first went to their new Diploma room and met with Annabel Cook who explained the issues and the core information needed to plan a festival like this. She told us about past experiences of hers when planning events like this and problems that may, and will, come in our way during the planning process and in the final result. For example, the fact that this will be held in a school, which makes the performance less likely to be viewed as 'professional' and the main audience would be our friends and families.
Once Annabel had left we broke into small groups and mind-mapped 'realistic' ideas for the festival and then pitched our group ideas to the rest of the group. We then took part in a drama thing to make us break down the barrier between the people in the whole group. We had to walk around and follow people from different schools around, choose someone from another school and tell them two true things about us and one fake thing.
We then mind-mapped needed job roles in groups of mixed schools and went around the groups with all of our ideas.
We then designed a logo and a name for the festival and suggested ideas of the teachers to do as a finale at the end of the festival to finish the unit. I looked at the sound system and behind the stage to see what the space and equipment that we were available to was like and what we had to deal with.
