We were heavily oversubscribed with applications for the last festival, and competition is likely to be
even tighter this year. Please note that we are especially interested in acts which can offer diverse
forms of education and entertainment. We are looking for workshops and performances that appeal to children,
adults and all ages alike. We will consider ANYTHING (!) no matter how unusual.
We will need to receive your promotional materials (demo recording, photos etc) by the deadline of 24th August.

Please provide one paragraph of thirty to fifty words suitable for publicity purposes and

Support material to be sent

| Availability |
The main program will start on Friday evening, and finish about 9pm Sunday.
Please specify availability from 7pm Friday to 9 pm Sunday. This is on the understanding that
you may be programmed at our discretion at any time within these limits. Performances will be
running right through the night on Saturday. Please state clearly if you do not wish to
perform in the middle of the night. It is sometimes necessary to adjust program times at short notice.

| Names of all people involved in act |
|
| Performance fee and GST/ABN status |
If you are not quoting an ABN, you will need to fill in an ATO statement by Supplier to indicate
why - otherwise we will have to deduct tax at source
As Earthdance is a not-for-profit event to raise funds for local humanitarian and environmental causes
we are only able to offer a set fee of $100 per performer per performance. This applies to all performers,
no matter how famous. We also offer free accommodation on the festival site and food tokens for performers.
If any performers are willing to waive their fee to help the causes that would be greatly appreciated.
Under the same principle we are unable to offer free tickets for accompanying family members or partners.
* (indicate that you are a hobby performer if you carry on this activity without
expectation of profit, and do not have an ABN - you will need to complete and
sign an ATO declaration. We will advise further on selection)
|
| Accommodation |
Cottage accommodation at the Village is strictly limited, but we will do our best
to give cottage beds to all performers. We cannot absolutely guarantee this.
Most cottage rooms are shared, and single and double rooms are very scarce.
You will be asked to share a room if offered cottage accommodation.
We can also offer free camping to artists and immediate family (max 2 adults,
2 children) in the designated Artists Camping Area. Please indicate your preference:
|
| Stage and sound requirements |
We will supply DJ mixers and CDJs at both main venues - please state if you require turntables as well.
Please note also that we need to know at the outset if you have any additional production requirements.
PA system is supplied in all venues (except for some workshop venues).
Note: Any special requirements beyond the normal P.A. facilities are the responsibility of the artists.
We will not be in a position to supply projectors, screens, T.V's etc. See below for requirements for workshop presenters
List your own backline and/or PA equipment being used - we need to know if you use a
drum kit, or on-stage guitar or bass amps, or if you will be providing your own mikes or other gear.
We don't need a full list of all the instruments you play.
(Please note that most concerts at the festival only allow for 15 minutes set up time for
bands, five for solo acts; we can only book a limited number of acts requiring longer set-ups).
Please list any special requirements. This is essential to ensure that you have the equipment
you need. If you do not request this equipment here we cannot guarantee that we are able to provide it.
Please let us know if you have any additional production requirements than you need us to supply -
e.g. additional PA systems for outdoor performance. We may or may not be able to comply, but we
won't know unless you ask.
Please send us a stage plan if your act is a group with more than three members, or if you have specific requirements. Please send this in electronic format if possible - scanned as a jpg is fine.
