For our end of year show spectacular we have chosen to hold it at the Komedia in the center of Bath. The venue boasts a large variety of different set-ups accommodation everything from large standing gigs, cabaret seating and classic rowed seats. So when it comes to our show, we have quite a choice on are hands.
However, whatever set-up we eventually pick there is one thing that doesn't change. The fact that we will need people to fill the space. This isn't simply a case of wanting to get the most for our money. The event is acting as a way for us to showcase all the the hard work and effort we have put in over the past 2 years.
The show is also a chance for the friends and family of the class to come and see our work displayed on the big screen. However, the show can also act as a bit of a networking event. By inviting local production company's to the showing we can start to build contacts in the industry, helping those who want to get a foot in the door in such a competitive business.
We can go about this by contacting companies directly, both through emails and over the phone. Better yet, if we met with representatives before the show, for example over a coffee, we can build a relationship with them increasing the likelihood of them attending.
As well as industry professionals we also want members of the general public to attend. One way we could go about this is by utilizing our connections at the Bath Chronicle. Getting something on their website, or better yet in the paper, will plant it in the public eye and get some much needed press.
Something that we can glean from last year is inviting officials from the bath area. An example is that of the mayor of Bath who attend last year. This again will help build hype for the show.
