UKEN 18 is hiring

UKEN is western Norway’s second largest culture festi-val and is held every other year. Over a thousand stu-dents volunteer as fUKENtionaries to create 17 days of concerts, events and lots of fun! The UKEline-up will be packed with everything from wild concerts and shows, to world record attempts, the kid’s day, elderly’s day and much more.

Central to UKEN is the UKErevue. Every UKEN we set the stage for our own show, which has won the natio-nal prize several times. UKEN has a tradition for revues that has roots stretching back to 1947, with many famous artists starting their career here, such as Jo Nesbø and Raske Menn.

In addition to the revue there are many unforgettable memories created here, with concerts in the UKEtent 2 in the Aula. Great artists have visited UKEN over and

the years, such as Backstreet Boys, Kygo, Axwell & Ingrosso, 50 Cent, Veronica Maggio, The White Stripes and DJ Tiesto. The magical atmosphere created in the UKEtent and the Aula when some of the world’s biggest artists enter the stage is absolutely priceless for both the guests and the fUKENtionaries.

Even though it is a lot of focus on the revue and the big concerts, what makes UKEN truly great is the broad spectre of the program and the different tasks you can have as a volunteer. We have something to everyone’s liking and three weeks of fantastic experiences makes UKEN a cultural experience you do not want to miss!

Dear fellow students!

We have big ambitions for UKEN 18! Do you want to create history? Do you want to create something so big that Bergen takes a break from reality to experien-ce it? Do you want to be a part of organization where everything you do is based on making great experien-ces for others and having fun? If your answer to these questions is yes, I suggest you continue to read this magazine!

To create such a comprehensive and big festival we are dependent on recruiting the best students there is, and there is more aspects in creative a festival then you might think! And it is the diversity in the different groups and tasks that truly make UKEN great – no matter what your interests or skills are, I will argue that you will find some positions that excite you.

Two years ago I applied for the position as Group Leader UKEtent for UKEN 16 in this round, and it was one of the best choices I have made as a student at NHH so far. You will gain new skills and get to know a lot of different people over the next year, and the feeling of creative something this big is something I truly will recommend to all of you!

Kind Regards

REVUE Henrik Holte Head of revue revy@uken.no

Welcome to the heart of UKEN! We are the ones who create what will make UKEN 18 memorable for centuries. Since 1946, UKEN has been the best student revue of Norway, which has led to a bunch of victories

in the Norwegian student championship. This year we are aiming even higher, and in 2018 the revue will be the best one yet!

In the revue section, you get a great sense of ownership to everything you do. It is truly rewarding to see how your work eventually becomes a revue that has 10 000 people laughing. No matter what position you choose, we can guarantee you that no section can make you laugh like Revue!

UKE ORCHESTRA

14 fUKENtionaries Are you more than averagely interested in sound?

Do you want to be a part of the Aula’s hard core?

Then you should apply to be a fUKENtionary in Revue Sound! The role as a fUKENtionary in Revue Sound isn’t only exciting and challenging, but also versatile.

In the run-up to the revue you won’t simply have one task, but a variation of tasks! Maybe the coolest perk is that you get a chance to play with the digital sound table, which has almost unlimited opportunities.

Congratulations! You have finally reached the icing on the cake; the UKE orchestra! If you are passionate about singing or playing an instrument, then you should apply to join the UKE orchestra and together we will be responsible for lifting the UKE revue to new musical heights.

Through legendary parties and a London trip, not to mention the UKE revue itself, you will, together with your soon-to-be new best friends, embark on a musical and social adventure with alternately six sharps and three ♭’s.

Mainly we are there to give sound to the audience, but you shouldn’t forget that the participants and the orchestra need YOU to shine on the stage! There are no demands of prior knowledge to apply - you will learn everything you need to know along the way.

The most important thing is that you are a positive person with a good mood who can withstand some long days in the Aula.

Nothing beats the feeling of when the stage curtain is pulled aside in front of a crowded aula. To give the revue the musical quality it deserves, we now seek bass, drums, guitar, woodwind, bowed string, and brass instruments as well as skilled choir singers.

Don’t sit on the fence, apply for a position in the UKE orchestra. Period.

You don’t need to dance any particular style, nor have considerable experience on stage to come to the audition. We’re looking for people who spread happiness, are enthusiastic and love to dance.

Together we will create a tight-knit group who have lots of fun both in and outside the dance studio.

Do you want to help give the revue an extra something and create unique dance routines that Bergen will remember for a long time? Apply to be a Dancer!

The UKE program is varied, and therefore we need people in several different positions. Because of this we can guarantee that the Events section can offer something perfect for you!

If YOU want to be a part of the section that got 50 Cent to the Aula, Backstreet Boys to the UKE tent and Quantum in the basement, then apply for Events sections now! You won’t regret it.
