About this unit: Festivals are a way of presenting and celebrating creative and media work that could include many different types of content. For example, the Glastonbury Festival focuses on music, whilst the month-long Edinburgh International Festival celebrates work in theatre, comedy, dance and classical music, as well as providing an opportunity for visual artists to put on special exhibitions linked to the festival.There are major arts festivals in London, Bradford, Brighton and Bristol, funded in a range of ways, and towns such as Reading and Leeds host commercial rock music festivals.The Mela is a type of festival that celebrates Asian beliefs and cultures, music, dance and crafts. Folk music and dance festivals are a feature of villages and towns right across the UK and eisteddfods are a major part of the cultural year in Wales.At a local level, a school or college may present a festival of learners’ creative and media work to celebrate artistic achievements.This might be a public event, or might be an end-of-year event for the centre itself.
This unit provides an opportunity for you to use work you have developed and produced during the course to present as part of an existing festival or as the basis for a festival of your own.
