FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do have a pricing system, but it very much depends on what I am doing, the nature of the performance to be delivered, for how long, where the event is, how many people, the nature of the event, is it to involce multiple characters. It is a show only, or a show and roving. I do have some basic hourly fees, but for the most I will fit and budget and I am more than happy to discuss that with the client.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have bascially been performing all my life. A piano showed up on the door step when I was five. Later came speech and drama lessons then lots of amateur theatre. In my early 20s, I met another guy who was keen to start a performance business. It was strength in numbers. We went out and made mistakes. But learnt. It built from there. People would ask us to do all kinds of things from festivals to performing telegrams. I then moved to our biggest city in New Zealand, went to drama school to put some theory behind the practical experience I already had.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I mostly performance faires and festivals. These are everything from County Faires to renaissance faires. But I also perform everywhere from Schools and Libraries to Corporate events and the film industry. Though even then it can really vary, the ype of client and occasion I am engaged to perform at. That way I can adjust my work to suit many situations and requirements
