Programming at a local action/event
You may want to put together a programming/stage team if you are running a mic for speeches and other amplified performances as part of a march/occupation/protest event.
The team would do the following:
- Book the speakers and other performers such as musicians
- Liaise with teams who would bring the amplification and man it on the day.
- Stage manage the mic by receiving speakers and performers as they arrive and organising them to perform at the right time.
- Book MCs who host the mic.
