Verve Arts Festival 2020
Verve 2020 is the 10th edition and made a comeback online, with the theme 'Tenacity'!
​
Verve is a community arts festival run by Year 2 Arts Business Management students with the aim to engage, empower and educate the communities. For Verve 2020, we hope to celebrate the tenacity in all of us. Whether it’s having the perseverance to pursue something you really believe or having the grit inside you to work around your situation to survive, everyone is tenacious in their daily lives.
With all the unknowns we face today, Verve 2020 aims to examine how our own community has cope and to showcase our everyday artistic expression of living, learning and having hope for the future.

As for me, I was part of the programmes department and also helped out with the filming and logistics on the sidelines.

NP 360 Arts Fiesta - Korean Cultural Club (KCC)
​
I was the artist liaison and filming crew for this specific episode of the NP 360 Arts Fiesta. I was required to contact the CCA and do up their artists contracts and completion of service documents. Before the filming day, I had to scout for a place to film and plan a trial film test with the dance crew for them to set their formations. On the filming day I had to set up the filming equipment. Lastly, during post-production I had to collect the soundtrack from the dance crew and send it to the editing team.

I was in charge of the filming and logistics for the programme. I helped out in filming the individual interviews, the individual performance videos and the individual performance recordings.
