These publicity materials were produced in 2015 to market the installation to festivals, producers and agents. The marketing and touring of the installation were handled by Artizani, the outdoor arts company I founded in 1989. This approach drew on the company’s existing reputation and profile within the sector, as the majority of bookers were already familiar with its work.The newsletter collates a variety of information, including audience figures, newspaper reviews and public comments, descriptions of the performance, images, and suggestions for workshops and commissions. It was sent to a mailing list of approximately 250 potential bookers in the winter of 2015. The majority of marketing activity in the outdoor arts sector is directed towards bookers rather than audiences, as events are almost always free to attend and the installation is typically presented as part of a larger festival programme that is marketed by the organiser.The postcards were printed as a means of distributing information about the show at performances and showcase events, and were also given to audiences as mementoes. Several thousand were printed and have since been fully distributed. The publicity materials were translated for international showcase festivals, including Ypres and Freiberg (2016), and an example of the German postcard is included here. Because such showcases are aimed at a wide range of international programers, the title of the installation was also translated into French, Dutch and Spanish.The publicity documents were originally produced for print publication and may not be fully accessible to assistive technology.
