How Walkabout Performances Work at Your Event
We appreciate that you may never have booked a walkabout performer before, and might have no idea what to expect. Here you can find a brief run down of how the day of the event will work when you hire one of our walkabout acts.
1) Walkabout performers Arrival
We’ll agree on an arrival time in advance of your event. Generally speaking this is one to two hours prior to the act’s agreed upon start time. If you require an earlier arrival for whatever reason, this can generally be accomodated.
Generally our walkabout artists will give you (or a designated individual) a call as they arrive, and ask to be shown to their changing area. The requirements for a changing area vary by walkabout act, but details can be found on individual act pages.
The performers will then unload the act into the dressing area and, if neccessary, move the vehicle to suitable parking.
2) The performers prep the act
The performers will do an inspection of the costumes to ensure everything is ready for their first walkabout set, as well as for any safety issues. Generally they will also inspect the performance area to ensure there are no safety concerns surrounding their performance.
We’ll begin getting in to costume between 15 and 30 minutes before our first performance to ensure we are ready in plenty of time.
3) The walkabout performance
The fun bit! Generally we will have agreed upon performance or set times prior to the event, though if you wish to tweak it on the day we can generally accomodate this within reason.
We welcome you to ask questions or make suggestions to the performers if something isn’t quite right. We want you to enjoy the performance as much as we do and make your event the best we can.
4) Packdown and goodbyes
Once all performances have been completed, our performers will pack down the act and coordinate with your event staff in order to safely unload their equipment.
Where possible we’ll make sure we take the time to wave goodbye!
