| Description |
Stage Managers are important because you make the shows run smoothly by monitoring and keeping us connected with your stage. We will have you in place at a designated stage to maintain a line of communication via radio between the Festival Headquarters and your stage. |
| Training Details |
Festival Volunteers will receive a training guide with detailed instructions for their roles, and will attend an orientation session prior to the Festival. Festival staff are onsite at all times to provide support. |
| Working Conditions |
The Halifax Buskers Festival is an outdoor festival that runs all day for a full week. We remind our volunteers to dress appropriately for the weather, to always wear sunscreen, and most importantly to stay hydrated. Water is provided, but volunteers must bring their own reusable bottles. Stage Managers are able to perform the majority of their duties while seated, but may be required to stand for extended periods of time. The Festival has several stages across the Halifax and Dartmouth Waterfronts, all within close proximity to Headquarters, one on each side of the Halifax Harbour. Volunteers will be required to travel between Headquarters and the Stages. Volunteers will only be scheduled to work one waterfront per shift, and will not be required to travel between Halifax and Dartmouth sites. If a volunteer is required to travel between waterfronts, the Festival Transport team will provide transportation. In addition to a Festival Volunteer t-shirt, volunteers will each receive a Halifax Transit pass for free use of busses and ferries for the week of the Festival. Headquarters are located within walking distance of the Halifax Waterfront and the Alderney Landing terminals. |
