Tell Us Something About You and Your Interest In Doing This

(400 words max)

Do you have experience in curating gatherings of people? If yes, please tell us more.

While it can be an event, workshops or a festival, it can also be as small as organising a potluck or party for your friends.

What are some of your experiences with death and dying?

Do You Have Experience in Workshop Facilitation or Teaching? If yes, please describe.

We believe that facilitation and teaching is an integral part of the work of the festival. To work effectively with teachers and presenters, it is helpful to be interested and have experience in doing what they do.

Have You Ever Run a Business? If yes, tell us about it. If you've not run a business, what do you know about running a business?

Some business skills are definitely required to produce a festival, such as budgeting, deal making and marketing.

Do you have experience with publicity? Web design, instagram, mailouts etc.?

Publicity involves effective communication and the ability to make attractive invitations to people. Not everyone can do it, but it can be learned.

What is your tolerance for uncertainty and unknowing?

There will be uncertainty and risk when proposing a new festival. It is not possible to know in advance how many tickets will be sold or what the event will be like. Tolerance of uncertainty and discernment about what risks are acceptable and what are not are key skills in curating/organising a festival.

Do You have a Website? Social Media Links?
