Stage...the audience will want to see the performers head to toe. A raised stage is recommended. Ideal stage size is 28' wide X 18' deep. Minimum stage size is 18' wide X 12' deep.
Ideal ceiling height above stage level is 14' or more. Minimum ceiling height above stage level is 10.5 feet.
Ideal stage masking is wings with legs. (Wings are the spaces on either side of the stage. Legs are the curtains in front of the wings.)
Ideal stage surface is wood or linoleum safe for barefoot dancing. If it's carpet or anything other than finished wood or linoleum, again, please let us know.
An electrical outlet is needed close to the stage.
Lighting...Theatrical lighting coming from more than just the front is required. Routines with lighting effects require a highly controlled environment. For the special effects to work properly, a few necessities... First: to be able to turn off all the lights so the environment comes close to total darkness. Second: a reliable, knowledgeable technician to run the house lights. Third: a black back drop is required for the 'Exposed' routine. (Nothing fancy here, just some non-UV active material in back of us. Anything black usually works well, and some wall coverings, are themselves not UV active.)
Sound... Ideal: A quality amp and speakers appropriate for the room. Two XLR inputs in the stage left wing for us to plug in our music player.
If you do not have an amplifier and/or speakers, let us know.
Audience... If the stage will be in-the-round or a pronounced thrust, please let us know. This can affect how some routines play.
If you have any questions at all, please ask.
Payment... Upon booking a 50% deposit is due to hold the show date. Check payable to the Tweaksters. The remaining balance is due the day of show.
