Are you interested in technology, art, new media and electronic music? Sonic Acts hosts the first edition of the Sonic Acts Academy, a new research-oriented programme from 26 to 28 February 2016 in Amsterdam. Artists, theorists, and scientists will be invited to expand on their research through lectures, concerts, film programmes, work presentations, masterclasses and workshops. We are looking for a great team to make the Sonic Acts Academy a success and invite you!
To make the Sonic Acts Academy a success, we need volunteers to assist with various tasks such as communication, photography, production and to run the information desk. Use this opportunity to become part of the Sonic Acts Academy team!
What can you do?
Promotion – Help us spread the word about the Academy by distributing posters and flyers in cultural locations in Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam, The Hague, Eindhoven and elsewhere.
Pre-production – We will need lots of help to prepare in the days running up to the Academy.
Information desk – As a host, you'll be the first point of contact for artists and visitors with questions about the programme during the Academy.
Artists handling – Special assistance for the internationally renowned artists and speakers we invite.
Photographers – Sonic Acts is looking for talented photographers to document the festival and exhibition opening. Photos will be uploaded to our Flickr, and a selection will also be published through our other communication channels. We’ll of course make sure you are fully credited if we or our partners use any of your material in our publications or communications. Limited places available.
Production – During the Academy we will need help preparing for the various activities.
Also, we need people who can function as exhibition wardens, ticket collectors, runners, or who can take care of any other tasks that will come up.
What can we offer?
- Free entrance to the Sonic Acts Academy
- Valuable (net)working experience
- Travel support within the Netherlands
- A meal during your shift
- Free tickets to concerts for promotional work
