Dv8 live review
DV8 LIVE
On the 10th of July with ran a party for all of the current learners at dv8 Brighton, this was held at the latest music bar. We showcased our talent through fashion shows, performances and films. All of the talent was from our learners and the audience was full of friends and family.
On the build up to the event I helped with the social media, making sure we got the word out and people were invited to make it a success, Making our own décor for the event and also making sure all the learners knows what there where going to be doing on the night. During the event I helped set up the venue with our décor, sorting out the seating for the audience and putting the bunting and banners up. I had to go to the shop and get the props for the fashion girls and use my own initiative on what will work on stage and what the girls would like the use. My job role was going to be front of house however we had a slight problem with not having a compare so I stepped in and ended up presenting the night. This included writing my own script and getting up onto the stage and building up the atmosphere and introducing the performances.
I feel overall the event went really well; the audience were very lively and wanting to get involved and everyone seems to be really enjoying him or herself. I was very proud of myself stepping in half an hour before the event and doing the presenting. There was a time during the night where there was a technical difficulty so I went up on stage and improvised until it was up and running again. I felt there was a problem and I needed to fix it so I volunteered. While doing this I learned that I really enjoyed doing comparing and have gained a new skill that I will be willing to use in future events.
I think the only problems that happened was the technical difficulties throughout the night, some of the films didn’t work and we needed to fill the space with another act meaning the schedule was messed about a little bit. Also I feel we should have informed the tutors of when they needed to go onto give out the certificates as there was a bit of confusion on who was up next. I thoroughly enjoyed the night and so did everyone else, im a very proud of what we did.
