Now RockCorps is starting projects in Latin America in Mexico, Venezuela and Colombia, and I am happy and proud to be part of the planning team in Colombia who will deliver this amazing program, more news to come and here a video that shows what exactly RockCorps have done, and I will be doing this semester.

This events is one of my favourite not only because I have been part of the team since 2008, when I as the production intern, is because the whole atmosphere of the event itself. The amazing people who put this together, the great group of volunteers who offers their time just to be part of this, the audience who come to enjoy and find all those new bands that Lisa and Jenny put together for us to know, and the venue, The Custard Factory itself that bring a unique energy and atmosphere that always make want to be part of it.

I started being a production intern in 2008 in charge of the merchandise area, and I did it so well (that was Lisa and Jenny said), that last year I was the Production Coordinator. So is a great place to build your career and learn.

Singing at concerts November 26, 2007

Filed under: Concerts,Dancing — magdanieto @ 4:38 pm

Over at Created in Birmingham there’s this interesting post about sinign at concerts.

“I have often wondered if CBSO concerts would be more enjoyed by some of the audience if they had an area where they could dance or at least move along to the music.”

I heratilly agree! Why the hell isn’t there somewhere to dance at Symphony HAll?

What do you think?
