MS Festival Operations

Program overview

You treat a festival as a temporary city: gates, power, crews, artists, and the streets around the site. The cases sit in Cambridge's festival calendar. You do not inherit a venue contract or a city's licence. Seminars run online, with a campus studio week when the cohort is in Cambridge. The year ends with a week plan, not a slogan about culture.

What you will study

Festival systems
Temporary power and crowd flow
Artists, tickets, and contracts
Flow, constraint, and the bottleneck
Capacity, inventory, and service level
Crews and volunteers
Permits and neighbours
