Tech Requirements
| Stage: |
Minimum
Dancing area:
20’ wide x 16’ deep with a surface
in good condition with “give” that
is suitable for tap shoes.
FiddleKicks can provide a portable floor (up
to 24' x 16') that can be placed on top of a
flat stable surface. |
Floor: |
| The stage and off stage areas shall be swept,
damp moped and clear of nails, tacks, staples
or other protrusions that might cause injury
to dancers. Large cracks surrounding traps or
other floor deviations shall be taped or repaired
prior to the company's arrival in such a way
as to eliminate the possibility of foot injury. |
|
| Sound: |
Professional quality sound system
and operator: separate, portable sound board/amplifier
with sufficient inputs, 5 or 6 mics and mic
stands for the musicians, 2 for narrator/singers,
and 2 monitors speakers for the musicians who
are generally placed down stage right. The dancers
require two monitor speakers. A cordless mic
is helpful when there is Q&A or audience
participation.
|
A tuned piano or electronic keyboard
is also requested.
|
| For a nominal fee,
FiddleKicks can provide a sound system if necessary. |
|
| Lighting: |
Program outline can be provided
showing lighting settings.
Ideally, the stage lighting during the performance
will have 3 settings: Setting # 1, Full bright
100% for full ensemble dances, Setting # 2,
80% (a little warmer) for solos, small ensemble
dances, Setting # 3 Band Special for musical
selections, lit full, with the remainder of
the stage staying at 40%.
Ideally, house lighting during the performance
should stay at 40% to allow for interaction
between dancers and audience. During any post-performance
audience participation, full house is preferred.
|
|
| Load-in and Access: |
Please provide
clear directions for load-in, and for performer
parking. Carts are requested to assist load
in. Ideally, we require advance access to
stage area at least 2 hours prior to performance
to check on floor, stage, and sound requirements.
Separate dressing room space is required near
performance area, with drinking water available.
Toilet facilities should also be nearby.
