Staging an event

Award  ceremony

Communication

 The student  participated into an award giving ceremony preparations. This was an evening event for government employees of a certain department.

When staging an event the following elements should be taken into consideration, stage, decoration, risks and theme design (Scanlon 2007).The type of event planned for determines how important these elements are. According  to Bowdin,Allen,O`Toole ,Harris  & McDonnell 2012).All events share common elements such as food and  beverage ,performers sound and light. According to Burke (2003) choice of the venue should be the most important when staging an event .During this event the student was setting up the tables  for the invited guests .

To stage a successful event  ,a stage construction should be constructed by professionals or a company with an insurance. Warning signs should be placed around to alert or warn people about any risks or dangers .The stage must be clear and there should be enough light  everywhere in the venue. Electric cables should be well tagged.

As a student I learnt that the safety of customers comes first.When setting up a stage it is important to make sure that the stage is position in a flat surface.
