This module provides practical experience of project management, producing and event design. Students will work in pairs or as part of a group to produce a small arts festival or series of events as agreed with the module convenor.
Students will have to demonstrate an ability to secure a venue, programme an event, produce a marketing outline and manage a final project. Indicative projects could take the form of a live event, a series of events, a festival of filmed work, or a digital festival that happens in cyberspace.
Students may take on different aspects of the producing role within the same project, or across a number of projects, throughout the module. Additionally, students will undertake the role of a producer (either as an individual or in pairs) working on either a film or theatre collaboration with another course; the specifics of the project to which the producing student is seconded will be determined by the tutor/Head of Course.

This module will culminate in the creation of a public event, festival or series of events.
While the event/festival will need to culminate in a real event, the event itself will not be assessed. Assessment will take place through a portfolio that will include a log-book that documents the student’s process, and elements such as organizational plans, marketing strategy and evaluation of the event. This can be submitted in a traditional, written format or through creative use of media as agreed with the tutor.
The contribution of student producer towards the project to which they are seconded will be assessed through a viva; it is expected that students will keep a log book or portfolio to aid them in their viva
