Extra information:

• Please note that our venues can not facilitate or allow fire, aerial, glitter and confetti. And very limited liquid. (There is one type of confetti cannon that works, please talk to us about it)
• The festival can not provide any rigging (pole, aerial etc).
• There are strict rules and regulations in place in Sweden for the use of lasers in venues, where laser light over 1mW requires a specific license and professional usage. The use of lasers must be discussed and verified beforehand, not on the performance day.
• Small Backstage – due to the changed cultural landscape and bad economical climate our venue backstage areas are small and fairly limited. We would appreciate if you would prepare as much as possible beforehand and co-operate with each other.
• We do not offer any guestlist slots for friends or family.

What we offer:
In addition to the invoiced fee, we offer free entrance to both festival shows (standing), networking opportunities with an optional Thursday Meet and Greet as well as our informal and popular Performer Brunch on Sunday which is also optional. There will also be a merch table for the Saturday show, photos from the event, the possibility to buy performer videos for a good price and discounted workshops.
