The End of Year Production will be on stage at the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre.  At the end of each year All About Dance produces 2 shows that all students perform in. The only exception is our Rhythm Works & Tuesday Morning Dancers will do the 6pm show Only and our Cirque Students will not perform in 2024.  Our aim is to provide students the opportunity to enjoy the fun of being a part of a professional level show rather than just an end of year dance concert.

                                    Saturday Matinee – 12pm

PRODUCTION DAY PROCESS

 

ARRIVAL TIMES         

 

A staggered arrival time schedule will be issued in term 4 outlining the times you need to arrive at the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre. Once this is issued please take careful note of the arrival times as students will not be permitted back stage early. Please make every effort not to be late as this then increases the number of students being signed in at once. Please ensure students arrive in Uniform not costume.

​

STUDENT SIGN IN

          

It is IMPERATIVE that only 1 parent/guardian lines up to sign in or collect students from the sign in area. To ensure the safety of all students, once a student is signed in they will not be allowed to leave the backstage area until the end of the first Performance. On sign in you (the parent/guardian) will need to provide a contact phone number in case of emergency. If you are in the audience for that specific show this will need to be noted. Parents will not be permitted past the sign in desk unless you are a registered back stage volunteer.

 

MATINEE COLLECTION          

 

Between the Matinee and Evening performance ALL students must be collected from the designated sign in areas. Again, parents will be unable to go backstage to collect students, they will be brought out by the Volunteers as a group to the Sign In Desks to be collected. All costumes etc will remain backstage between the shows, however no one will be permitted to stay backstage between performances. Again, please ensure that students arrive in their uniform so they have something to wear between performances.

 

EVENING COLLECTION          

 

Once an entire group of dancers is ready to be collected they will be brought out to the appropriate sign in desk as a group. This may take a little longer than the Matinee collection as all performing students will receive their memento at the conclusion of the Evening Show.

​

As keen as you will all be to see your children it is important to remember that only 1 parent/guardian can come to the sign in area for collection. Also keep in mind that over 500 people will be attempting to exit the back stage area. The volunteers will be franticly trying to collect all your children’s belongings which is no easy task.

 

Please remain patient and refrain from venting any frustration at the volunteers on the sign in desk. Everyone will be doing their best to get your children to you as quickly and safely as possible.

​

Rhythm Works and Tuesday morning classes will receive a separate email regarding Arrival & Collection. 

​

HAIR & MAKEUP

​

VOLUNTEERS          

 

You guys are one of the most important components of the entire days success. Without you we would never get the kids on stage. You will be notified separately about your requirements. 

 

SHOW STOPPERS         

 

As much as we hope for a problem free show sometimes things do happen. Should for any reason we require a parent from the audience an announcement will be made over the PA and you will be asked to come back stage. Please find your nearest usher and they will direct you. You will not be able to gain access to back stage via the stage itself.  

 

PHOTO'S/VIDEOS/USB        

 

Copyright laws prevent you from taking photos & video during the performance. The school pays for a license to allow us to have 1 authorised photographer and Videographer. Should you take your own photos or video fines are enforced by the theatre as again this is LAW not our own rules.
