Technical Requirements
- The festival
needs to provide a suitable site for the show.
- The site needs
to be a large, clear shop window space that is prominent within the
town. A prestigious and conservative store is good.
- It is preferable
if images of the window and a floor plan is presented to the artist
prior to further arrangements.
- The space must
be easily large enough to house 5 mannequins and it is assumed that
there is no security risk.
- The space must
be adequately lit.
- The space must
be adequately ventilated. It is preferable to have at least one large
ventilator fan installed.
- The festival
or the store must provide 5 director style chairs or the equivalent.
- The store needs
to provide an adequate change room with a mirror and easy access to
running water.
- Stores are often
more than happy to provide clothing for the mannequins,
as people are staring at their merchandise for hours on end.
- If they wish
to, they need to provide:
5 white XL shirts
5 XL jackets preferably dark blue
5 size 32-34 trousers preferably dark blue
5 pairs of appropriate shoes size 10-11
5 trouser belts.
(If they can’t or won’t then I will provide the costumes.)
- A set-up time
of at least a day is required and bump-out is immediately after the
final performance.
