Life’s A Pitch The presentation pitch for the 30/03/17 is just, that … a pitch. As a collective of mixed creatives your task is to take examples of your individual work (you do not need to make any MORE work) and together decide how best you could promote a blended group of works. This could take the form of one or a mix of :
A publication; newspaper, magazine, comic, Zine or book etc. An exhibition / travelling art bus A website Site specific projection / installation Market stall Film / media festival / pop up cinema
But please do not limit yourself to just these if you have a better idea go for it ! Remember this is a proposal at this point described through a ten minute team presentation and as such should be a relatively simple exercise. With a number of you delivering, this should be a lively presentation with an option to use visual aids including animation, powerpoint, props even expressive dance if you wish – remember you are pitching the idea – so be creative. The pitch should take no longer than an afternoon to put together and is a great opportunity to get into the presentation groove ready for your personal PPP presentation in May . Through research and planning and as a guide your presentation could :
propose a rationale for the selection of work identify an appropriate audience and market identify a suitable delivery system / platform / location / outlet identify potential partners/suppliers (could be a gallery, printer, web designer or AV supplier for example) structure your team to optimize your individual and group skills and knowledge ( management , promotion , communication, finance etc) investigate the legal and financial obligations of developing and launching a creative initiative – would you need insurance , risk assessment, police presence!! seek appropriate professional support & advice ( from funders, printers, gallerists, shopkeepers etc) plan control finances devise and propose a promotional branding strategy as appropriate – name, logo etc and how you will communicate your presence to external parties and partners. explain how such a venture maybe useful in future explain how working with others has benefitted you and your practice
