People
Manage the artists, creative team, and contributors that appear across your events and content
A person is a reusable profile for someone who appears across your events and content. This includes an artist, conductor, creator, designer, contributor, or anyone else with a name and a role. Each person has their own public page on the site. You can link the same person profile to any number of events, performances, posts, and other content.
Each person is a single profile, so a biography written once appears wherever you use that person. Update it once and every appearance updates.
What a person profile contains
- A display name: the name that appears on the person's page.
- A first name and an optional last name.
- Optional pronouns.
- An optional default role or title: their primary role or job title (singer, conductor, designer, etc.).
- A biography: rich-text body content for the person's page.
- A headshot or portrait image.
Person profiles support the same version history, drafts, and SEO controls as other content.
When to create a new person
Create a person profile whenever you need to link someone from event content. A profile is worth creating even for a one-off appearance. It lets future productions reuse the same biography and image instead of duplicating them.
Some people are one-off mentions with no biography, unlikely to appear again. You can leave them as plain text on the event instead of creating a profile. As a rule of thumb, if you want their name to link somewhere, create a profile for them.
Linking a person to an event
Link people to events from the event's editor, typically as part of the participants or cast section. A single event can list many people, each with their role for that event ("Conductor", "Soprano", "Director").
The same person can have different roles on different events. The role belongs to the link, not to the person.
