WASFAM - West Australian Summer Festival of Art and Music by Matthew Willis https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr Cultural arts festival promoting local artists and raising funds for art/theatre/music programs in local schools. en-us 2016-10-12 07:28:02 UTC 2023-06-07 04:24:30 UTC hello@padlet.com mgwarland https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/130042962 2016-10-12 07:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/130042962 Matt Willis  mgwillis6 https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/131700428 Discipline: Anthropology and Sociology 
Role: Cultural Officer ]]> 2016-10-19 07:05:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/131700428 Matt's contribution to the event:  mgwillis6 https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/131701673 It is important to have local artists at our event as one of the aims is to promote their musical talents throughout the community. My contribution to the event will be to find and organise the various local artists which will attend. The artists in attendance will include indigenous local bands, as well non- indigenous local bands.
Figure 1.1:]]> 2016-10-19 07:14:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/131701673 Research: mgwillis6 https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/131703282 Indigenous Australians are underrepresented in any many areas of the Australian community. This ranges from health to higher education students. The arts community in Australia is also lacking diversity, only 8% are from a non-english speaking background. It is therefore important to embracing more cultural diversity. 
Figure 1.3:]]> 2016-10-19 07:27:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/131703282 Why its Important: mgwillis6 https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/131703377  It is important to have both indigenous and non-indigenous local bands to enrich the communities current understanding of music, and to broaden the ideas of what else music can be.  Having this range of artists will support the growth of all forms of local music and promote diversity, give respect to the land and the country, change perspective and beliefs of local music and help keep indigenous culture alive. 
Figure 1.2:]]> 2016-10-19 07:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/131703377 The Music: mgwillis6 https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/131704101 The music will include contemporary western music, influenced by Perth local artists and contemporary aboriginal music featuring influences from the 13 Noongar  tribes in particular. As well as this there will be traditional song and dance from the vast repertoire in Noongar culture. This will be carried out by Wadumbah, a group consisting of members from the Noongar tribes. This performance will be given permission by elders, and will give respect to the land and country. 
Figure 1.4:]]> 2016-10-19 07:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/131704101 Project Aim:  mgwillis6 https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/131704199 The community arts project our group chose came together quickly after the realisation that the community could benefit greatly from a cultural display of art, performing art and music. We understand the importance of supporting local artists from all cultures in each of these fields and have an emphasis on their involvement, to elevate the communities understanding of a number of alternative exhibitions. By using our different disciplines we want to share our love and understanding of the diverse range of local cultures.  
To engage the public in this area we are holding a Cultural arts and Music Festival, the West Australian Festival of Art and Music", which will be held during summer, outside in a large entertainment area, such as Claremont showgrounds. The details of the festival are as follows: 
The festival will be easily accessible and affordable for all ages. 
There will be no alcohol and the event will be smoke free.
There will be local indigenous, and non-indigenous music artists, as well as affordable sales of their own, and other music.
There will be local art workshops as well as sales of local art. 
There will be performing art, and performance workshops. 
There will largely be local food and drink, including produce as well as the prepared food.
Ultimately the festival will raise money for an increase in the quality of local schools art theatre and music programs focusing on  facilities, equipment and teaching.

The festival ground will be broken into general sections. I’ll be managing a section that will be solely dedicated to creating and promoting artworks (e.g. paintings, urban art, etc.). This ‘arty corner’ will be promoting local talent and multiculturalism- it'll be made up of 2 main components: selling/exhibiting local artworks, and workshops where attendees can create art. My main aim is to encourage local artists and invite people to be creative and have some playful fun with paint. The workshops will be all-inclusive and not difficult with fun interactive features.
]]> 2016-10-25 13:32:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/132992981 ARTIST TENTS: Promoting Local Visual Artists ellesiah_sewell https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133007324
To keep prices low and accessible, the artworks for sale will be mainly prints on canvas (rather than originals). These artworks will include styles like; spray paint, Indigenous Aus art, tattoo designs, graffiti, colourful and abstract- as well as photography works. I believe that this will be more appropriate to the vibe of the festival. There'll be no more than 4 artist tents, and to get a placement in the festival, they’d have to enter a competition that I’d host online (this will also work as publicity for the event). The artists will be also be doing live artworks, for purchase, upon request at their stalls (e.g. caricatures, colourful designs, etc.). This is an amazing opportunity to promote Perth artists and give them intense exposure.]]> 2016-10-25 14:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133007324 WORKSHOP 1: TIE DYEING ellesiah_sewell https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133022348
Tie Dyeing workshops will be held throughout the day. The white shirts will be purchased form local op-shops (helping to put back into local economy), but you are free to BYO. It'll be hung out on a line in the Arty Corner, but it'll be up to you to come and collect your beautiful t-shirt when it's dry. This is an awesome and interactive way to get people involved and participating in creating artworks which they can wear home!]]> 2016-10-25 14:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133022348 STALLS: Henna ellesiah_sewell https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133023662
Henna is currently a very popular trend and form of temporary tattoo. Since it is an Indian tradition, local Indian authentic Henna artists will be engaged to set up stall in which hey can set the fees and money goes back to them. This is a great way to promote local multiculturalism.]]> 2016-10-25 14:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133023662 INTERACTIVE EVENT: Holi Colour Party ellesiah_sewell https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133024666
At one point in the day, bags of (non-hazardous/non-toxic) coloured powder will be sold and handed out. We'll then start an epic colour fight in the Arty Corner, by opening the bags and throwing them around! This activity is friendly to all ages and is based off India's 'Holi' colour festival, which has been adapted into Australian popular culture through events like the 'Colour Run'. It promotes creativity, multiculturalism and all funds raised will go back into schools to fund art programs. It's an exciting activity which everyone can join in, and the colours left on the people turn them into spectacular artworks themselves. ]]> 2016-10-25 14:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133024666 Taisiya Payne kenne2465 https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133221204 Major: Performing Arts
Role: Casting and Performance coordinator]]> 2016-10-26 04:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133221204 Role explanation: kenne2465 https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133222193 My role in this project is casting of prodigy local performers not only on school, but also university and professional levels. I would need to work with the advertising and promotion board (Matt and Jacob) to ensure that all of the performers meet the majority of the following criteria:  

- They are local (in our case, located in Perth, performing borders will be outlined with evaluation of risk and cost of travel for performers from specific districts depending on availability of transportation)*

- They perform in a discipline that is considered performing art (e.g. dancing, acting, musical performances group or solo, acrobatics, illusionism, poetry, etc) 
or 
- They showcase a collection of works related to a craft-heavy creative industry (fashion catwalks, cosplay, robotics, others to be confirmed in audition process)

-The performances or showcases will generally not exceed 5 minutes, unless approved by the casting board. *

- Performances have to be age-appropriate, as one of the main groups of target audience is children under 10 years old to inspire them to pursue arts as either a recreational activity or a potentially professional industry in the future. *

- Performances have to be stage-ready. Them being 'stage-ready' and the ability of the performers to develop their pieces further prior to the commencement of the festival would be determined by the casting board. *

- Performances with minimal set and prop requirements will be prioritised, as a grotesque set may be time-consuming and dangerous to move, which will obstruct the flow of the festival and potentially endanger the audience and/or other performers. The less we have to spend on insurance, the better. *

- Performances cannot (!!!!) include anything causing an obvious health hazard (e.g. enflamed materials, toxic materials, not-secured sharp objects, loaded/not secured weaponry) *

(* all performers have to fit this criteria)]]> 2016-10-26 04:36:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133222193 Role 2: kenne2465 https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133224963 I will also be organising the schedule and technical properties of the selected performances. That includes:
- Ensuring that the performances and showcases are evenly varied to prevent the audience from losing interest and/or overlap of activities. 

- Hosting. I provide the flow to the main performing platform during the transitions. ]]> 2016-10-26 05:07:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133224963 International performers kenne2465 https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133226429 The problem with incorporation of international performers is that even if the performers agree to work for free, we will still have to pay for their travel and hosting costs, as well as travel insurance. Depending how large an ensemble is and how much 'profit' there will be from the organisation of this festival, we might not be able to afford many or any international performers. 

Many international performers would be possible in cities in Australia, like Sydney and Melbourne. However, Perth is much more remote and this course of action is simply not practical, hence why I recommend mainly focusing on local performers and schools/institutions they came from to promote funding by local and government agencies. ]]> 2016-10-26 05:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133226429 Potential Local Performers kenne2465 https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133226903 Here is a board of potential local artists/performers who would most likely be available for the festival.]]> 2016-10-26 05:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133226903 Jackob Soldan soldan_jackob https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133228753 Major: Journalism

I suggest that we cooperate with companies, such as Hayman Theatre and WAAPA, for young people who require professional experience in technical operation. As they would have major experiences within the theatre, they would require minimal additional training and are least likely to cause problems with procedures and equipment.]]> 2016-10-26 07:05:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133237005 References: mgwillis6 https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/133813545 Ang, Len and Phillip Mar. 2016. “Australia’s Arts Community Has a Big Diversity Problem – That’s Our Loss.” The Conversation, January 21. https://theconversation.com/australias-arts-community-has-a-big-diversity-problem-thats-our-loss-52686.

We will also have a group of around 30 or so diverse promoters from different suburbs across the cities and we will give each individual / group that will be performing at the event a picture to post and advertise to state that they are playing with links to the event in each post.
Why: Social media is a universal platform where people from all over the globe has access to every single public event / page / account. Almost everybody has social media and access to everything within, so I feel this form of advertising will be most effective.

Good ideas of public advertising are small billboards outside nightclubs or around the city and also in public transport.
Why: This form of advertising will be mainly for those without social media access, perhaps those less fortunate and even younger kids who are out and about with their parents. The idea of having billboard advertising is to choose billboards that are located in areas of large traffic such as public transport, Highways and in Perth CBD.

Why: Smart phones are the new craze within today's modern society. A huge influx of new model smart phones means a lot more people are using the apps available to them, and having these apps interactive with the event can be very effective when it comes to promoting the event.

The aim for our community arts festival would be to support and give back to the local arts community, as well as encourage participation, education and awareness of local arts culture. This means that the festival would require both sponsorship and major funding by prominent Australian and local organisations. Sponsors would be chosen based on the vision and mentality they put forward, which would aid in the general message and ideas of our festival- including the promotion of positive health. Successful funding and sponsorship aims to cover as much as possible of the financial cost of running the festival, which means that the funds raised on the day can be put straight back into the community. 
My role would be to find suitable organisations for funding/sponsorship and contacting them to propose our idea.
Logos of sponsors and funding partners would appear on advertisements and website promotion of the event, as well as on structures of the festival (eg. fencing surrounding the ground). ]]> 2016-11-01 12:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/134442718 Sponsor 1: Smarter Than Smoking mgwarland https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/134449048 The festival is promoted to be a family friendly environment and hence drug and alcohol free.

They could also assist by providing sunscreen at the entrance and throughout the ground of the festival.

This encapsulates one of the main goals and themes of our festival, which we aim to promote as much as possible. Sponsorship from Wesfarmers Arts would also aid in raising awareness about their arts program as well.

We would apply for a grant under the "community Events" category which "celebrate and share who they are and what they value". Lotterywest grants are also supported by the government, giving the potential for a significant amount of money to be funded.

We could use this as an alternative or additional partner for major funding. This is specifically a Western Australian organisation which will help strengthen the focus of our festival and create awareness of the event such that it is seen as being a large scale event that immerses people in WA culture.

From these goals i created several guides to help my design process. A neutral background, a limited colour pallet and the use of universal signals, when combined with the events taking place at the festival, focusing around visual arts performing arts and music which is why i chose to incorporate a musical note, the happy/sad drama masks and the brush and pallet. These symbols can be almost universally recognised to represent the three aspects of the festival. Furthermore i wanted to include the crowd which is represented by the lines encircling the three symbols. Naturally i made it into an .SVG file type (Scalable Vector Graphic) so that it can be used at any resolution without distortion

For the animation this still represents what i envisioned would be for a fireball to pop into existence every time loud or significant even occurred, a large drum beat for example, and that the speed with which it moves but also dissipates afterwards would directly correlate to the tempo of the song or performance going on. In this way it could help to enhance the mood and complement the performance. Other ideas i had were to have the colour change to match the mood of the performance and maybe to have some kind of overall motion like a shake or a zoom in and out whenever a fireball appeared.

What would happen in a full trailer is it would play the actual animated part onto the brick wall, which is designed to show that the event isn't an exclusive high brow thing,  here first off would be the announcement of the name of the festival and the goals of the festival followed by a small spiel on all the events would play out with a narrator speaking over to give context. after having read through all the events and experiences on offer it would go on to talk about where the festival will happen, that it is designed for all ages and promote the sponsors of the festival before going to black.

While this cultural festival promotes local talent and multiculturalism,  it also has an important purpose and message for the local Perth community. Because of the current political climate, when Australian schools take budget cuts, arts programs (e.g. Visual Art, Theatre/Dramatic Arts, and Music) are first to be disposed of. It means that many public Perth schools are without adequate art culture- and because our event is paid for by funding bodies, all money's raised from this festival will be going back into local public schools to fund art programs and buy facilities. This is all in an effort to promote culture/creativity amongst younger generations and give them the opportunities they deserve. ]]> 2016-11-02 03:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/134667576 References: kenne2465 https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/134667864 Fig 4.1- Surasak Kerdsin.

When audience is higher, like in an amphitheatre, they feel partial control/power over the performers. When audience is placed o the same level, performers are more likely to interact with their audience providing them with a degree of vulnerability, these spaces are usually used for interactive theatrical productions or illusionism. When the performers are placed above the audience, like in solo musical concerts, audience comes to a point of a worship.
I chose a stage higher than the audience, as it would be easier for all to see the performers. I also chose a stage with a catwalk, because it is both equally suitable for performances and showcases.

To ensure accessibility of all performers and equipment to the stage, 3 sides would have 2-way ramps with proper railings and staff for assistance with heavy objects and coordination of 'traffic' to minimise health hazard and equipment damage.

The Arty container will have surrounding walls made of sea containers to help block some of the noise of the rest of the event. But we'll be using these as a canvas! All day long, local street artists will be teaching people how to use spray paint to make art. This activity will be open and free to everyone. It promotes local urban artists, teaches skills, changes the perception of street artists and up-cycles an old sea container into a community art piece! ]]> 2016-11-02 03:53:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/134670506 Those Who Dream kenne2465 https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/134671571 Those Who Dream are a new prodigy pop/rock band started in Perth in 2013. It consists of Josh and Cooper Meyer - ex students of the local Shenton College. They are also quite popular in local young people ages 14-19, which would help attract more youth to the festival.

Before the event, I will go out to the local public High Schools and talk to the art students (or students interested in art) and see if anyone wants to be a volunteer in the Arty Corner. Here, they can hang up school banners and help with general set up/maintenance and participate as face painters at this stall. This way, the community can give a face to the people they're raising money for and we can encourage both young artistic talent and volunteering in your community.]]> 2016-11-02 04:30:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/134673224 ellesiah_sewell https://padlet.com/mgwillis6/kqbo4fnoa7qr/wish/134675970 Figure 3.6: Eve Jeffery, Market Face Painting. 2016, Digital Image.
