FAQ Questions:
Can I change my tech time? Answer: Thanks for asking, but sorry, no.
Can I run my piece more than once? Answer: Thanks for asking, but sorry, no.
Is it alright to skip the orientation and just show up for my tech slot? Answer, thanks for asking, but absolutely not. You risk being pulled from the show.
But what if my tech only takes 15 minutes, can't I use that 5 minutes for myself? Thanks for asking, some works are longer than others and we need to keep the flow going, so, no, but thanks for asking!
P.s. It is gonna be great! Trust the process!!!
FUN THING ONE: LIABILITY WAIVERS- BEFORE ENTERING THE THEATER
10:45 am - 11:00 am: Sign liability waivers facilitated by Ken Gilbert of DramaDogs - a Theater Company. Hang on to your pens to sign patron programs after we set bows.
FUN THING TWO: INTRODUCTIONS & THEATER GUIDELINES
11:00 am - 11:15 am: Introductions, Theater Etiquette facilitated by Noelle Andressen of Rubans Rouge Dance Company.
1. Circle up and artists indicate name, where they are from, and set one word intention for the day.
2. Housekeeping - NO FOOD OR DRINK in the theater, don't leave valuables backstage in that it is not a secured area, kindly keep things off of the table in the back hallway in that this is where Paseo Nuevo cleaning staff take their breaks, the walls between backstage and the theater are super thin, the Manatee piece is danced in silence so please be silent during this piece (assign a monitor for this), all other works keep voices down to a whisper. Before you leave the theater after we set sound levels you must check in with Frit and Frat (Have them raise hands) in the foray to sign the patron programs. This is a required activity, if you don't, you lose out on the opportunity to earn some of your investment back. Also, before you leave, kindly pick up your trash back-stage and dispose of it. THANKS!
