General
Risk Assessments – are available on confirmation of bookings and we carry out location risk assessments prior to all performances.
Changing room and warm up space needed 1½ hours before and 1 hour after shows with tables, mirrors, electricity supply, hot and cold running water.
Stilt Acts – require generally level surfaces.
Outdoors - our aerial puppetry equipment will only tolerate very light rain and wind above a Force 3 becomes progressively more difficult to use as wind increases or becomes erratic in built up areas. We can switch and adapt equipment to suit weather conditions. We are happy to negotiate timings where weather conditions are changeable.
Running times for stilt acts 2 x 45 minutes.
Transport - Where possible we prefer to use public transport.
See table right for general space requirements.
Minimums are for passage restrictions between
performance areas rather than performance.
Reduce heights by a metre for non-stilt based performances.
