Insomnia volunteers are key to pulling this festival off each year. From ticket sales, production, cleaning, driving, making food, tending artists, hugs, and more, there's space for everybody on the team, and we need your skills!
Clean-up Patrol/Accreditation/Wardrobe:
Clear empty plastic cups, restock toilet paper, whatever's needed to keep the festival space festive. Help the crowd flow smoothly through the gates as you welcome guests, register accreditation and staff the wardrobe. Or, help our artists by looking after sales at the merchandise table. Shifts will be during the festival, 17-19. Oct.
Safer space / welcome crew: We are looking for people who have previous experience or are interested in the topic of safer spaces at festivals, concerts and clubs. Dance/Walk around the festival area and make sure our audience and guests are having a good time and that it looks great in the venue. 17-19. Oct.
Runner/Driver:: When somebody needs something – we need you! Runners and drivers are resourceful, reliable, and able to step into any role where we need you. Driver's license is highly beneficial. Winding your way through the streets of Tromsø, we need your help to make sure that the right people are at the right place at the right time. Drivers and runners are largely required from 14-20. Oct.
Rigging: We occasionally need additional hands to help move items from one location to another, which can sometimes involve heavy lifting. This includes equipment, furniture, art installations, and more. If you're open to shorter shifts and don't mind physical work, this role is for you! The shifts may take place before, during, or after the festival.
Pre- or Post-Fest Patrol: We need efficient and self-reliant people to help set up and take down around the festival venues. Here’s a broad work load, everything from helping the decor team to building, painting, carrying, tech installing and various of other tasks which has to be done for this years festival. Ideal for those who are available before and after the festival.
Kitchen Crew: During the festival week we have a Finish chef crew that comes and make food for all of us in-house at DRIV, and we need you that likes to help out in the kitchen making food and cleaning up. Kitchen crew are largely required from 15.-20. Oct.
Venue design-crew: Every year we turn Driv into a full on Insomnia experience and for this we need a lot of creative hands. If you feel inspired sign up for this! (14-20. Oct.)
