Participate & Co-Create

Participation taken to the extreme

One of the Burning Man 11 Principles is PARTICIPATION. What it means is that every person attending the event is encouraged to help make the event happen. Whichever way you want to contribute to the event is up to you, ideally you want to sign up beforehand to a shift, workshop creation, art installition, or else (see list below).

However, IMMEDIACY is another principle so during the event you’re also more than welcome to spontaneously help for any task, create art, or perform.

Note that none of the performers or artists are paid. There are art grants one can apply for in order to support the co-creators though (see list below).

 

FLUFFERS, HOSTESSES, GATE, LNT, FIRE SAFETIES, HEROES, WELFARIES

Once your registration is approved and paid, you will receive an email with instructions on how to volunteer.

As you know, BBB is a co-created event, meaning that everyone’s participation is needed to make it the best experience possible.

  1. For this we ask everyone to sign up for at least 1 shift.
  2. If you sign up for the set up you have to come a day before the event officially starts, and if you sign up for the strike you have to stay until Monday. Only people that sign up for these shifts are allowed on site before or after the event.

Kids up to 99 years old are more than welcome!

The space is big and sprawling so keep this in mind when planning activities. Perhaps propose a kid-friendly workshop? Please be aware of when/where the adult activities are scheduled and be responsible for your child to not wonder in. We try to make it fair for everybody. Children up to 13 enter for free but they must register!
