Annual Show

Danzfusion Annual Show – Summer 2010
“Lights, Camera, Action!”  
  

This year’s show “Lights, Camera, Action” has been booked for the weekend of the 2nd/3rd July 2010 and will be held again at the Key Theatre. The technical rehearsal will be on the Friday, which everyone in the cast MUST attend. This is very important as it allows everyone to see the front of house and backstage area’s, as well as plot out the dances and spacing on stage. The two shows are on the Saturday (3rd) with the matinee at 2:30pm and the evening show at 7pm. Due to the large number of children and adults performing in the show and the theatre’s restrictions backstage to fit in with dressing room space and fire regulations the children will be performing in ONE of the shows. Your child will be in the afternoon/ evening show so please be sure to purchase tickets for the correct show time.

   Arrival times and final arrangement details will be given closer to the show, although for your planning please ensure all performers are at the theatre no later than one hour before the show start time. You will be able to purchase tickets for the show from the Key Theatre box office on 01733 207239 at the cost of £8 for an adult ticket and £6 for concessions. I believe there may be a small charge for purchases made by card. Please ask the theatre staff about this. The tickets will be sale shortly so please book ASAP to avoid disappointment, it is a first come first served basis.

   Below is a costume list for the dances that you/ your child is involved in. I will also put a copy onto the website should you need to refer to it that way. I have kept costumes as simple as possible so that many items can be found at home or purchased easily and cheaply. You need to have all costumes ready by mid June ready for a dress rehearsal around this time. Some groups will have more than one extra rehearsal due to the number of dances that they have to complete in the short time left. Again I will inform you of the dates and times if it applies to you/ your child.

   All performers must have uniform for the finale number, (adults may wear a plain black top if they do not have a Danzfusion top). Danzfusion t-shirts can be purchased through me but please allow one month before the show date to allow time for ordering in garments. Any items of costumes that are borrowed MUST be returned to me at the end of the show. A lot of time and money has gone into making costumes so please ensure that you/ your child take care of anything borrowed. If items are not returned in the same state as when they were lent out charges will be made for their replacement. Similarly if borrowed costumes are soiled or damaged charges will be made for any dry cleaning and/ or repairs. The consumption of food and drink will not be permitted near costumes.

   There are a number of quick changes between dances for many of the groups performing in the show, some as quick as 3 minutes! This will of course be kept to a minimum, but I’m sure you can appreciate in some cases it can not be avoided. Children will be responsible for their own costumes and getting them in order and ready, although some of the adult squad will be around to usher groups in the right direction! There should not be any major problems although I would just like everyone to be aware that it is a tightly timed programme.
