The main technology of power used in the field of festival production is framing the conditions of actions, confronting acting subject with conditions that seems to him or her as 'objective'. This is why I predicate that we may talk about biopolitics of festvial production. This happens first of all with budgetary discipline imposed by funders, and followed by funding terms and conditions. Second important limitation is fact that an event can not be postponed, thus everyone who is engaged in its production fails under a dictatorship of deadlines. Every single activity in the production process has to be adjusted to numerus other activities and its timelines, and every activity creating own timeline impose new deadlines to the others. Thus everyone entering the production process is confrontated with _machine_, that can not be stoped after its launch. This technology of power may work only when acting subject internalize a responsibility for the success of the project. The art of govrning consist of various techniques of resposibility's inoculation, of transmition this responsibility from the top of managing pyramide to its bottom.
Not every subject is vulnerable to this incolutions, thus the very fundamental technique for the whole process is selection. This selection aims
to choose specyphic type of subject, which mihgt be called _active_. Active subject believs in the value of cultural production and, in the ideal case, in the value of particular event he or she helps to produce. He or she is interested in achieving position within the cultural field, but believs that the only way to this goal leads through a hard work and can hide his or her ambitions. To be productive subject has also to be _open_, which means he or she should have the ability, which is essential for the festival production
