STARTER KIT  

       

Presenting Maharaji’s message

at Concerts and Clubs

 

Promotion

 

  • Posters everywhere promoting the event, including in the venue itself.
  • Hand out Flyers (A5 versions of the poster)
  • If you have connections with the local radio station, TV and also the local newspaper, place an advert.
  • Use the video clip to promote via email (see sample on coolchill.org site)

 

Set-up

 

  • The set-up of the event itself involved:
  • Usually the venue will have professional AV or Get pwk who is experienced in AV to instruct them on the hall set up
  • Standard PA equipment
  • Laptop and a projector to show the translated slides and DVDs
  • Plenty of rehearsals - technical and performances!!!

  • Two MCs introducing and telling them why they have put on the ”Peace concert” Acts can be split up into 2s and 3s, interjected by a clown for humor.
  • Acts can vary - a hip-hop group, a salsa couple, advanced ballerinas, a ballerina group, a tango and salsa act and background dancing behind the singers, a heavy metal group (one of the songs had a slideshow of  'no-war' images from war-torn countries and Mother Teresa (media images), a female and a male singer who sang in solo performances and a duet
  • Songs specifically chosen to relate to Maharaji’s presentation but were commercial, i.e. 'I believe I can fly' and included translation on PowerPoint and modern dancing.
  • Halfway through the concert, the MCs talked a little bit about Maharaji and his work and showed the 'Courtesy of Life' DVD.

·        At the very end, 'Who you are' was shown. This is the track from the 'Who you are' CD with images and translation in Spanish.

 

Materials/Handout:

 

  • At the end of the concert, a table with various VCDs given a way,

'Peace is possible'

 'Courtesy of life' and

 

  • If the person wanted to know more, they were given further information, i.e. the satellite time and channel.
