Performance Participation Guidelines

All dancers who would like to perform with the branch at this year's Renaissance Festival or any subsequent performances during 2009-2010 should come to rehearsals. Our goal is to encourage and include all our members who wish to participate to do so. It's a lot of fun, and the money we earn helps keep our treasury full, which keeps our dues nominal.

Performance Participation Policy Rehearsal Attendance Policy Rehearsal Requirements

In order for the group to be ready to perform at the Renaissance Festival, we have the following expectations for all dancers:

For most dancers, meeting these deadlines will require some time spent outside of rehearsals studying the dance instructions.

Non-Dancer Participation

Our goal is to encourage and include all our members who wish to dance at the Renaissance Festival, to do so. In reality, we recognize this is not always going to be possible; some are not interested in performing for an audience and some have not had enough experience. Branch members who are not dancing at the Renaissance Festival are encouraged to explore the option of participating in our performances as a non-dancer helper. Non-dancer helpers can add to the performance by interacting with the audience, marching in the parade, and joining the audience participation dance; and they can assist with carrying banners, getting water for the piper, etc. Please contact the RenFest committee chairs for more information.

Costuming

Participants must provide their own costumes, which should fall reasonably within the branch costume guidelines. All costumes are subject to approval by the branch Wardrobe Master, Jim Morehouse.
