We circulated a call for proposals in connection with this year's BA
Festival of Science on the list a few weeks ago (pasted below for your
convenience).
We are now in particular looking to hear from those who might like to
enrich the "BA Festival of Science ...in the city" with science-related
theatre, drama or other popular science shows.
We are also looking for ideas for booths or stalls that could combine to
from a "popular science market" in the main shopping area in Exeter.
(Quite possibly this may be of interest to those who are already
represented in the Festival programme at the university).
For further information, please refer to the call for proposals below.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS
The BA Festival of Science 2004 will take place at the University of Exeter
from 6 - 10 September 2004. The theme of the Festival is the responsibility
of being a scientist. Further details about the Festival and the core
scientific programme can be found at www.the-ba.net.
In Exeter, the Festival of Science will for the first time be accompanied
by
a diverse programme of events not only at the University but all over the
city and the region. Events and activities will vary in their edginess,
‘seriousness’ and style, and will engage a broad range of local audiences
in science-related activities and spectacles. We do not want to prescribe
events but a range of approaches is envisaged from, say, science in film,
science through drama, science trails, science in shopping centres, science
exhibits, and so on, to consultation events with specific groups concerned
about particular local, science-related issues. The target audiences of
these events and spectacles should be as diverse as possible. They should
mainly coincide with the dates of the core Festival, however the weekends
before and after may be utilised.
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
The local coordinators are now looking to hear from individuals and
organisations that want to run science-related events and activities for
the local public as part of the BA Festival of Science. Proposals should
include a short one paragraph description of the event and give an
indication of the target audience. The local coordinators will identify
proposals for inclusion in the Festival programme, and will lend
a ‘helping hand’ to organisers of events. Proposals should be sent as soon
as possible, or by 15 February.
