Hello First name / Friend,, Throughout May, we’re introducing you to two new members of our team, William Warrener and Aksa Saghir, who together work on our leadership and creativity programmes at universities around the UK! We’ll be discovering more about them over the next few weeks through the creative challenges they set for us - this week it's over to Aksa…. |

“Hello I’m Aksa - Programmes Administrator at 64 Million Artists! I'm responsible for the administration of our leadership and creativity programmes at universities around the UK. My favourite way to get creative is through theatre, mainly watching theatre but occasionally taking part. It allows me to be transported to new places and feel the moment. I'm always looking for theatre recommendations as I love to find new work!” How will your creativity take centre stage with this challenge? |

Imagine that you have been given the opportunity to run your dream festival. - Think of your five favourite artists (could be from the past or living, musicians, performers, dancers, anyone!) and your festival around them.
- Where would it take place? In a city, in a field, in an old castle, the possibilities are endless!
- What time of year would it take place? Think about your location and weather!
- What will it be called?
- What food and drink will be the staple of your festival?
- What other activities and stalls will take place around it? Will there be panel discussions?
Design a festival poster, or you could visualise a scene from the festival in any way you like - collage, drawing, writing. |

Why did you choose these artists or performers together? What do you want the festival to represent? |
