Here at UF, we have learned that AIM Together residencies take a coordinated team effort. The partners work together ahead of time to plan the events, and on residency days, a team of ten to twelve staff and volunteers is assembled to assist with set-up, patients and other audience members, sound, artists, release forms, evaluations, and unexpected needs. We organize the team as follows on performance days:
Presenter Coordinator
Healthcare Coordinator
Evaluation and Photo Release Coordinator
6-8 Volunteers to obtain consents and evaluations
2-3 Volunteers to set-up and clean up performance areas and to assist with patients’ needs
2-3 Volunteers to assist the coordinators as needed with needs that arise during the events
If working with or as a solo artist, be sensitive to the number of volunteers with you in the smaller spaces. In a larger public space, the volunteers can disperse throughout the space. However, on smaller floors or intimate bedside visits, a large group of people is unnecessary and can be threatening to the patient.
