[OSList] How big is a circle with 300 people?

[Anna Caroline Türk via OSList]

Dear all,


thank you so much for your feedback and insights.

In fact it will be an outdoor event with tipis.
So it’s going to be quite an experience on several levels.  I love this kind of complexity…

- I will send pictures of the event when it happened end of July.

much Love
Anna Caroline

The one on page 101 shows the set up of concentric circles for an event with about 350  people in Magdeburg.... the one on the next page the Sevilla event with about 300 imams and rabbies.

The experiment with 300 attending works well with a diameter of 10 meters for the inner circle allowing 35 to 50 chairs in the inner circle. One might get the 2nd circle also to be perfect, and even the third and in very large rooms all 7 or 13. But often the inner plus one and perhaps two fill the width of the room. The additionally needed "circles" are then half circles added to the "perfect" circles in the length of the room (the whole thing than looks like an oval but with at least one perfect circle in the middle).

I therefore made it a prerequisite to see the room before the event and actually would arrange a small segment (like  a pizza slice) using the chairs available to get a specific picture (chairs do vary in width and depth in such a way that with a crowd of 300 sitting in lets say 7 concentric circles will get you various radiuses or diameters for the whole arrangement).

And all this stuff is best done on the premises involving the whole team getting into the spirit of the event...
