Performance types are as follows:
Ambient
Choreographed (solo and group)
Hula Hoop Instruction
What is an “ambient” performance? Ambient performance is improv and free form as opposed to a dance/show specifically choreographed to a set song or group of songs. The performers mingle through crowds to give little shows in different areas of the event to attendees. Ambient sets allow performers to interact with attendees by answering questions, whirling around them, making direct eye contact, possibly bringing them in the part of the show, etc. It’s recommended to have an audience size of 200+ for ambient performances.
What are your performance requirements?
GREEN ROOM: A dressing/warm-up area is required. This area should be private/semi-private away from the audience members’ sight. The green room should provide a mirror, table, chairs and adequate floor space to stretch and warm up.
PERFORMANCE SPACE: Ideally the performance space should be in the range of 15’ deep x 15’ wide with a height clearance of 15’ free of hanging decorations. If the size mentioned is not available, adjustments may be made performer prior to event.
STAGE: Stages must be level and free of obstacles. If the stage is pieced together all gaps must be securely covered with high quality duct tape. Ground acts can be performed on many surfaces. Cement patios, wooden floors, brick, concrete and well maintained, level lawns are all performance adaptable.
TECHNICAL RUN THROUGH: Depending on the nature of the event and acts purchased a technical run through may be required. If so, all technicians should be present, (sound, light, stage manager). Please allow a 1 hour time frame for details.
LIGHTING & SOUND:
For ambient entertainment: Client will provide stage lighting and music for performer for the duration of performance. If music can not be provided please contact the performer to bring their own sound equipment.
For choreographed show: Lighting is to be determined according to atmosphere and acts purchased. Client must provide a PA/Sound system with the ability to broadcast clear, quality sound for both performers and audience members. Sound System must have a AUX connection. A sound technician must be present to operate the system throughout the performance.
AERIAL REQUIREMENTS
Rigging of apparatus may cost extra, between $50-$150 per apparatus, depending on the accessibility of the trusses. Rigging quotes can only be given after a site survey is completed. If structurally sound rigging points are not available at the venue, then a portable rig can be provided for a one time fee of $250. Includes transport, setup and tear down.
Specs on portable rig: 23ft x 26ft when set up at full height of 19ft. 19ft x 21ft when set up at 14ft and may be set up indoors or outdoors.
FIRE DANCING REQUIREMENTS
Audience must be at least 10 ft from performance area. This may be marked off by ropes or cones. (cones can be provided upon request)
A fuel dump area is required for any fire performance. This area should be secure and away from the audience sight. The fire performer will use this area to store fuel, props and fire safety equipment. This area should a minimum 10 ft x10 ft for the performer to “spin off” fuel after the prop is dipped.
On Site Fire Safety Assistant is a mandatory component to a fire show. This person is responsible for the safety of the performer as well as the venue. This is included in your fee and provided by the performer.
