Winterlude is the University of Canterbury's mid-year festival: a week of events to bring students back together for the second half of the year. In 2012 it ran to 23 events over seven days.
The big night was The Perfect Storm, back for its second year. On 20 July, seven clubs, 15 music acts and four stages took over one campus for one night, with Local Remedy, DJ Watson, Soul System, Tommy Ill and DJ Seth Hamilton among the acts.
As Activities and Events Manager I directed and programmed the week, ran the logistics, and looked after marketing and the relationships that made it possible.
