Performance Requirements

In order to provide a fun, exciting, and safe performance, Red Herring Morris needs the following:

Dance Surface: The dance surface should ideally be at least 15' × 20' (though we can make a slightly smaller space work if necessary). The surface can be indoors or outdoors, but it needs to be relatively flat, level, smooth, and free from obstacles.
Acoustics: The performers normally dance to acoustic music without amplification. The space should be quiet enough that the audience can hear a fiddle or penny whistle. We can provide modest amplification if needed (such as the microphone/PA systems that street musicians typically use). However, if more amplification is necessary, you will need to provide your own sound system and sound engineer.
Staging Area: During the performance, we will need access to "offstage" space where we can keep instrument cases and other gear.
Duration: The dancers can perform a single set of up to 60 minutes, or two or three sets of up to 45 minutes each, with at least a 30-minute break between sets.
Content: The performance consists mostly of border morris dances (in the style of the Welsh border counties of England). However, the performance can also include instrumental pieces, songs, a mummer's play, a maypole dance, and/or teaching dances in which the audience is invited to participate.

Fees

Red Herring Morris's fees begin at $350 (excluding travel expenses) for one 60-minute or two 45-minute sets during our peak performance season (April 1 through June 30) plus travel expenses for locations outside I-495 but within a two-hour drive of Boston. Performances at off-peak times receive a $100 discount. An additional 50% discount is available for non-profit organizations.
