Technical Rider
For Indoor Performances: At indoor performances, I generally start around 2 hours before the audience arrives. I appreciate help in unloading my heavy equipment. Please inform me of any obstacles such as stairs and elevators, which can considerably increase the time for unloading and setting up. The pole rig requires 2 m in diameter of space on a solid floor. I bring my music on a cd and need a 20-minute rehearsal with the technicians. These are general guidelines; please do not hesitate to call or write me to ask any technical questions about your event.
For the SWAY / fibreglass pole Dunken MastEr (8 minutes, longer if needed): I need at least 6 m height (absolute minimum: 5,80 m). I sway about 3.5 m in 4 directions: to the left and right, to the front and back (not in a circle), so I can avoid obstacles hanging in the air such as a light, etc. The pole base or “rig” stands on the floor, no anchoring is necessary. This act is usually performed in or near the audience and is set up before the guests arrive, but after the show it can sometimes be rolled over a flat surface with a 2 m wide path (with no obstacles such as steps). I need light on the whole pole and above it, around 6 m from top to bottom, and about 3 m to either side. Because this is a large area, a follow spot is ideal.
I need 2x2 m for the pole and around 3x3 m space to do my show (including the pole), and naturally space for the audience. For obvious safety reasons, I cannot perform when it is raining. When it stops raining, I can dry the pole in 10-15 minutes and start the show.
Royal Flush: 6 m height, approx. 20 minutes (shorter versions are also possible)
Pirate of the Carob Bean: 6 m height, approx. 20 minutes
