Flash is a medium-scale street theatre show performed by five to seven characters that combine high-impact drumming, dynamic choreography and beautiful lighting design.

The performance combines static set-pieces, movement between sites and audience interaction. The performers constantly shift the focal point of the show and sometimes surround the audience completely so they feel immersed in the drama which unfolds. The show gradually builds in intensity culminating in a huge climax of light, sound, smoke and movement.

Flash is a highly adaptable site-specific show designed for audiences on the street, in town squares and parks or any other open space. It can also be performed on stage and indoors.

An optional pyrotechnic finale can be offered.

Flash has been designed to work brilliantly as: 

• A street theatre show in a town square
• A vibrant parade piece in a carnival
• A static stage performance (or typically, as a combination of all of the above)
• A stunning after-dinner show and memorable finale to any corporate event
• An interactive crowd pleaser at a music festival

CORPORATE EVENTS
The beauty of Flash is that the colours of the drums and costumes can be programmed to match your corporate branding! Whether it’s a company launch, a conference or an after dinner show, Flash can be tailored specifically to your event. The show can be performed indoors or out, on a stage or in a large open area and the performers will interact with the audience creating a spectacular which will live long in people’s memories.

Duration - 10 minutes

INDOOR SHOWS 
Any reasonably large indoor space such as a banqueting hall, exhibition centre, a large function room, hotel foyer or shopping mall. Flash can perform on stage as well as moving around and interacting with the audience. The show can be tailored to suit any seating arrangement from theatre style to a more formal style of dinner set-up.

A floor plan with stage and seating arrangements will be required (ideally one month) in advance; this does not need to be to scale but must include dimensions.

Duration: From 5 minutes to 30 minutes, Flash will tailor the length of the performance to suit your needs. Flash can perform up to three 30 minute sets over the course of a day or evening.

Stage dimensions: minimum 6m x 4m


STREET THEATRE/OUTDOOR EVENTS
A large open, traffic-free area like a pedestrian street, town square, marketplace or park. The performance can work across and move between multiple sites in such an area including an outdoor stage. Whilst moving between performance sites Flash will adapt to the space available, e.g. the group can move in single file down a path or pavement or spread out to fill a wide road. Flash is a loud rhythmic performance so do not situate the show close to other acts.

Duration: Flash can perform for a total of 120 minutes split into shorter sets over the course of a day or evening. Each set would last a maximum of 60 minutes.

Minimum Space: for static outdoor performance: 5m x 10m

Ideal Space: 10m x 10m

A map of the site will be required in advance; this does not need to be to scale but must include dimensions.

IN A PARADE
In a carnival, parade Flash should not be placed near to other musical acts in the parade.

Duration: Up to 90 minutes

Ideal Space: 5m width by 10m length. The configuration of the performers can be adapted to suit the available road width and space between groups.

During the parade Flash will adapt to the space available, e.g. the group can move in single file down a path or pavement or spread out to fill a wide road.

Daylight Show: During daylight hours Flash is a beautiful and dynamic show with the performers’ costumes capturing and reflecting every bit of ambient light and colour.   

Outdoor Night Time/Indoor Show: The high-powered lights which are built into the costumes and drums will look most effective after dark or in a darkened indoor space (blackout is not necessary). Outdoor night time shows should be scheduled no earlier than sunset on the day of the performance. Street lights will not impact on the performance.

We recommend booking Flash to do a daytime and a nighttime performance.

APPROPRIATE AUDIENCE
The show is appropriate for international audiences of all ages. Audience numbers are limited only by the physical environment in which the show is performed and variables such as the height of staging.
