Skits: Need to know for Contestants!
Kairi Sun Mar 21, 2010 3:09 pm
Rules:
1. Standards of Behavior
All costumes should be in good taste. Please refrain from swearing or using any other offensive language or gestures unless approved. All contestants are expected to be courteous and respectful onstage; your skit should not be used as a jibe/insult against someone, nor should you use your stage time to make a political/religious/etc. statement or demonstration.
2. Weapons/Effects Policy
No Live Steel. If your costume calls for you to wear a katana or other sharp/dull METAL weapon, use an obvious fake. Violation of this rule will be taken VERY seriously.
3. Stage Entrance and Exit
We do not allow jumping off the stage, from any area that has not been approved by the Masquerade Staff.
4. Costume Interaction
Please don’t wear or use any messy substances that might ruin the costume of another participant. If you are wearing body paint or make-up, please make sure it will not come off in casual contact with others. Do not leave anything on stage that cannot be picked up by YOUR stage ninja in a few seconds.
5. Costume Containment
All costumes must be self-contained. Connections to electrical sockets, amp hook-ups, projection screens, ec cetera will not be available. The only exception is if you're doing a solo skit and have a video to explain it etc...
6. Group Size
There is a limit of eight (
people per entry.
7. Additionally, skit entries must provide a script. Please note that skits will be subject to review, both the of script and an at-con “dress rehersal”. If the Masquerade staff is concerned about content or preparedness, you may have to make changes.
8. When you arrive at 4:00 during our set-up you must be stage ready, meaning that you are in costume and ready for walk-on or skit performance. All contestants will need to be there.
9. NO SURPRISES!
Do not make any last-minute changes in your entry without consulting the Masquerade Staff beforehand, well BEFORE the Masquerade starts.
10. Stage Combat
In the interests of safety, stage combat is severely restricted. Unless you can prove to the Masquerade Staff at the Interview that you are a well-trained stage fighter.
11. Pre-Registration
We highly encourage Pre-Registration. This will help us figure out how many skits we have, in order to Pre-Register we would like you to tell us or contact the Master Coordinator of this event at Mysterious8610@aol.com
Also, when registering send your script so we may look over it. Registration at the con is allowed just let one of the staff members know, hand them your script and more than likely it would be best to do this Friday.
