TECHNICAL DIRECTOR
The Chiswick Book Festival is one of London’s highly regarded literary festivals. The main festival takes place over four days and includes a number of venues including Chiswick House. This is a uniquely challenging festival as there are so many back-to-back presentations/talks. For both the Saturday and Sunday, we have a back-to-back programme across a number of venues often only allowing 15 minutes change over as the public arrive for the next event. As part of my role, I have to design a bespoke system for each venue ensuring a high-quality listening experience for all guests. This has to cater for a large number of presenters in an acoustically difficult environment. My role also includes managing the authors technical requirement and ensuring that they are properly taken care of during the festival. As the event has a high profile in the wider community, I have to work with the media to ensure they are able to achieve the coverage that they want whilst not imposing on the guests experience at the festival. |
