DETAILS

TICKET SALES: Online sales stop Friday at 5:00 pm.

SATURDAY

CARPOOL: Kindly leave by 8:00 am. When we drove down we used google maps which told us which route had the least traffic and used GPS.

Parking on the street, not in the lot!

If you arrive early, Trina and I found a really nice java stop close to the venue.

Antigua

CARS:

BonBon, Kennie, Barbara

Stephen, Nikki, Nicole

Misa, Trina, Mindy

PROCESS:

ONE: Spacing and Set-up

We will IMMEDIATELY begin to space work with sound check with Stephen in program order and will begin the moment we arrive. We won't run the musical invocation. There won't be time for a warm-up so dancers may want to talk to their bodies a bit before they get into the car. We will space work in program order running each work ONCE. Once you are done, kindly help Nancy Evans with set up of the chairs. After the works are all spaced we will circle up with each person setting an intention for the day. If there is additional time, those who need it can run their work again. I don't mind people warming up as the audience comes in.

TWO: Group Bow and Strike

No bows in-between pieces. Let's all come out at once take a group bow, then each group step forwards to bow for their offering. BonBon makes the announcement that we need to clear out of the next group by 3:00 pm but people are welcome to join artists as we head to eat afterwards or stay to move as a part of Pieter's open lab. AFTER the bow we will IMMEDIATELY begin to fold up chairs and place them against the wall for the next group that will be performing in the evening. There is a 3:00 pm open lab that comes in, so we are asked to be mindful of artists coming in. If we aren't out exactly by 3:00 pm - this should be okay. We need to dry sweep the place as well.

THREE: Food and fun

Trina wishes to do Mexican while she is here and I found a place on Yelp close by.

Pieter suggested a local bar called footsies - but I don't think they have food.

SUNDAY

ONE: ARRIVAL and PREPARATION.

Please arrive by 3:00 pm. We will set up chairs/video camera quickly. Remaining time will be for warm-up.

TWO: Run-through for sound and for photos

We will run through the program in program order for photos so if you do make-up, wear make-up. Stephen needs to be at the door by 5:30 pm to manage ticket sales. Melissa Block is coming to help with this. I don't mind artists warming up as audience comes in.

THREE: Performance As with Pieter BonBon will welcome the witnesses/audience. Same drill for group bow at the end. All come onto the space, line up, group bow, one at a time step forward to bow as individuals. There will be cake and cupcakes out to celebrate my 20 years as a dance maker for the spectators. I think at the ten minute pause?

FOUR: Strike After the bow we work as a community to fold up chairs and put them away, dry mop the space, mingle with the audience, lock up and kiss until we meet again.
