A little while ago the graphic design company Vruchtvlees helped us finish our publicity materials. Vruchtvlees is another company generously helping us with their resources and scarce extra time to make what we need happen. Celia has been happy to finally have posters and flyers to enhance our promising ticket sales. We involve whoever is willing to distribute those anywhere we can think of.... Perhaps you've seen them around?
Since Christmas holidays are coming up it was also time to gather all the last minute info from the choreographers for the program book. If it turns out to be anything like last year we can use all the organization we can get to ensure those programs are printed on time. While each choreographer has music rights to be checked, dancers to formally thank and explanations to be made they also have the opportunity to arrange their own photoshoot for the program book this year. So Patricia, the multi-tasking photographer has a lot on her plate to manage in the next week or so in further preparation for program book materials. This is all before arrangements are made for a greeting letter, thanking our very generous sponsors including Friends of NDT, advertising etc.
Final products of merchandise can be seen again in this blog. Please enjoy the below photos provided again by Kees Knaap including the photo of Celia representing the multi-tasking lifestyle of hers right now.......
Caro looks pleased. 
Bernie adding her personalized touch!
In addition to all this we also held the last Open Path jam session on the 12th. Unfortunately there is no up to date footage from that one yet but we were all very happy with the turn out that happened and the results. The possibility and potential of that concept seems to be endless.
And! Lets not forget the technical workshop offered and organized by the cool Tom Visser. Tom is a lighting designer and NDT technician and one of those who is voluntarily helping to design and light pieces for Switch. Let's not forget all those technicians who are also donating time and skills to make things happen! On Saturday choreographers were offered a little seminar by Tom to learn about the basic ins and outs of stage lighting. We're hoping this will make his job a little bit easier later.
For now, after the last NDT1 show tomorrow, we will all take a much needed rest. We won't have to perform but the choreographers will likely be fine tuning their ideas, dancers will have packets of flyers in their purses and the Switch Team will be exchanging emails and preparing for technical rehearsals, program printing, party organizing, and event management to come. Let's pop some Christmas crackers and see each other in the new year!!
Wishing everybody a Merry Christmas and good 2012 celebration!
