  12. Challenges and Strengths on the day • What do The Push do with our evaluations we provide to them? The Push compile the evaluation feedback from the four FReeZA groups to help with continuous improvement. The feedback helps identify any troubleshooting and solutions that were put into place on the day which can then be reviewed as to whether they were effective. • Do The Push do their own of the day? The Push are working closely with the Festival Director, Festival staff, FReeZA Workers, FReeZA Committees members, Office For Youth, Artists and production suppliers. The Push take feedback from all parties and manage the communication with the Festival staff and the Office For Youth to ensure the stage meets the project needs of the FReeZA groups and the artists.

  13. Committee Experience by Anais Corimbelly • On Saturday the 11th of February a member from another Freeza group and myself were asked to attend a briefing at the Novotel at St.Kilda. Starting from 11am we were introduced to the Stage Manager Alycia Stanley and went through the responsibilities for the festival as well as the documentation we had to fill out before, during and after the event, a majority of it was OH&S related. Afterwards we went to visit the site, we then had to complete a Risk Assessment with the Festival Safety Administrator. At 2pm we attended a Safety Briefing with all the staff from the festival. We went through all the OH&S issues that would arise on the day as well as a contingency plan for the weather. • The day of the festival we started at 10am, with a safety briefing filling out the Risk Assessment as we went. We help set up the stage area till 11:45am where we had to get the first band together from there we briefed the band on the signals to tell them how long they had as well as they’re agreement for on the stage conduct. From then on 12pm-5pm we changed from band to band and half way through the event it started to rain but that didn’t cause too many problems as we implemented cleaning the stage from the water and cautioning people who were entering and exiting the stage.  The actual stage manager didn’t have to do as much since the other trainee and I took over the roles. By the end of the day there wasn’t any huge issues that affected the event and all was left was cleaning up, bumping out the stage and packing up what we could, followed by a debrief by the stage manager. It was a different experience that was a great learning opportunity.

  14. Summary • Great opportunity for LGA’s • Supported process for young people • Collaboration with other FReeZA groups • $$$ Pooling funds to create a bigger show • Good experience
