Performance day

We performed on Thursday 11th February in the Market Square , In Cambridge.

On the day it was really cold, and it made a difference to my performance at first.It was too cold to do anything, but we all tried our best.

For the performance I wore the Cramba t-shirt created by the performance group.

The performance lasted about 30 minutes.

Even though we had a Facebook group to tell people about the event , not very many people turned up to watch us .

The press group told a few newspapers and news crews about the event, but sadly they didn't turn up .

Risk assesment

Our CRAMBA performance was delayed because the college didn't have a risk assesment

why is it important to do a risk assessment for outdoor performances?

So everything is covered , just incase there is a accident, or something happens.For example, when we are carrying our instruments around, they might fall , or get damaged. Also, it's outside, so, it would be harder to perform,rain,snow or really crowded. The college could get sued if anything bad happens, because the college is in charge of us.

what is the impact of risk assessments?

The Cramba performance has had to be delayed because of the risk assessment. On wednesday we were ready to perform the next day, the outfits were ready, and the beat was in everyones mind.

But because of the risk assessment , we have to wait until next week. Maybe by Thursday next week the group might have forgot about the performance, or need to practise more .

the plan

Blake is going to put the instruments in a van, and is going to drive the instruments to the Market Square. We are going to meet at The Junction @ 1:30 , then walk down together to the Market Square.

Thursday 4th February-dress rehearsal

how did it go?
instead of going in the theatre part of the Junction, we went to the gig part .It was the first time we got to wear our outfits.I think we are all ready for the performance next week, and i think we sound good, and we are listening to each other more .


how did you feel in the outfits?

I think the t-shirts were big , even Small size was big.I liked the designs though on the T-shirts- Cramba logo and the Cram logo. The masks were really pretty , but couldn't see much out of them.

do you think they are successful?

I think the performance team - who made the outfits- did really well. They searched for masks, t-shirts and created the outfits.

what would you add or change anything?

The T-shirts should be smaller, and actually fit people.Thats the only change.

change

I created the Samba posters - one design in light colours, and one in full colour for Flickr and Facebook.
The information put on it at first was...

• cramba are putting on an event in aid of the Haiti disaster
• Thursday 4th February
• Market square , Cambridge
• 3pm start

But...I had to change it because the performance has changed to Thursday 11th February.It was going to be on the 4th , but apparently we need a safety letter , to say we can go(which is annoying).

• so the performance has now changed to Thursday 4th February
• we had to re-do the poster because they changed the date

so far..

• I designed the posters for the Cramba band/group, printed them off
• I've put both of the posters on Flickr
• designed a banner layout
• finished my design for the Samba poster

to do....

• help my group, design, with the banner
