Need a bit of help. Am in discussion with a club about perhaps becoming an in-house performer one night a week/every two weeks. However I'm not sure whether I could actually manage that often. Simply as, I only have so many acts, and being a dance student too, I just don't have the time to make up something new for every different week. How does anybody else deal with this? Where should I lay down the law on what I actually can manage? I don't want to do anything half-arsed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank-youuu!

hey sweets, well if you have three or four acts already that's a start. That would be two acts a month: 2 months with different stuff, then you can repeat, how about one new routine every second month? You could also vary some themes. As punters change all the time, you won't have to have a new act every single time. Maybe the venue has some specifically themed nights: I guess you could change your acts a bit to suit the event...

Has the venue asked specifically to have a new act every 2 weeks?
hope that's of some help

I think it would depend on the venue and the audience, HoneyLulu's suggestion is a good one, as long as you're not going to have a regular audience that are going to see every show and realise that you've got a set of routines on rotation... also, how many routines are they expecting you to do a night? If it's going to take your full repetoire to fill the time slot, there could be an issue! That said, it's a fabulous opportunity, and I really hope you can get it to work.

Hi Liberty,

Myself, Lucky and Viva work as an in house troupe at two monthly events. We construct 4 new acts per show and repeat two audience favourites from the last show. Getting the compare to ask 'what their favourite act' is from the ones you have perfomed or getting feedback directly works well and then repeat that one. It really does depend on audience. At one of the nights we perform at we have a regular audience - so we really do have to be creative.

Think of it as a challenge. If you are a dance student I world suspect you will be fine!!!!
