•My INDOOR ONLY bubble shows are humor based, science oriented, artfully presented and run under an hour. Kids (age 5+) and adults will be equally transfixed. Younger children who inevitably attend age~limited shows must sit with an adult... the temptation to storm the stage and pop the art may overwhelm some younger viewers.
•Shorter performances, strolling/environmental entertainment, corporate events etc. are available.
I am not accepting birthday or family parties at this time.
•Dedicated meeting-rooms or theater spaces, with or without a stage, work best. Cafetoriums & gyms in schools are fine.
Kids usually sit on the floor with the adults in chairs around the edges.
•Please Do cone off or somehow reserve a convenient parking space for me.
This little effort makes a huge difference and is greatly appreciated! I have a lot to carry in.
•My contracts are straight forward.
When you hire me, you get me. No sub-contracting surprises.
Once I answer all of your questions & you decide to book a show here’s what happens: We’ll decide on a day, I’ll get a contract out to you, you’ll sign a copy and return it with directions to your event. Deposits are usually not required. Payment is made in-full on the day of.
•I'll arrive about an hour early to get set up. Break down will take about forty minutes. Access to a deep sink is appreciated.
•Still photography is fine. Videotaping is not.
•You will be happy with the show or I’ll rip up your check. Guaranteed.
I would, but have never had to do this.
•Publicity photos are available here.
•Feel free to create your own poster using any photos you see on BubbleArtist.com.
It's always fun to see an original poster hanging on the wall when I arrive at an event.
•The show is self-contained.
Floor coverings guarantee no mess. With my sound system, everyone will be able to clearly hear what's said. When there's nothing to say, music carries us along.
You can help to make the performance a success by...
•Closing windows near the stage area, ensuring heating/cooling system air blowers and vents in the room are turned off 10 minutes prior to and throughout the show. Breezes, even slight, will limit my ability to control the bubbles and your show will be adversely impacted.
•Lighting the performance area. Any extra work-lights or bright lamps you bring in will make a big difference, especially if your stage area is a dark gym or meeting hall.
•Preparing for larger than expected attendance. Bubble-shows are like that. This happens most often at library shows, maximum capacity for the room is exceeded. Just in case, it behooves you to have a plan to help you deal with those folks you might need to turn away. Preemption helps, make it a ticketed event and let ticket holders in first. Or, in your publicity make it clear that there are a limited number of seats and they will be filled on a first come - first seated basis.
