GOTHLA UK 2018 – OPEN STAGE FORM

The open stage is an opportunity for Gothla UK 2018attendees to perform in a club-style environment among peers. It is a low-pressure, high-fun atmosphere where we come with an open mind to see people’s own interpretations of what Gothic Bellydance is.

The Open Stage is for bellydancers attending Gothla UK ONLY. Please do not send your form unless you have booked your workshops.

You or your group’s performance shall be placed on a running order determined by the Gothla UK team

Your performance must be no longer than 4 minutes in length (this is due to the amount of submissions we receive)

Please send the MP3 of your trackby email .

Please ensure that you also bring a playable hard-copy (ie: ONE .mp3 track on a CD-R) on the night of the open stage in case of any emergencies. Gothla UK cannot be responsible for CDs that do not play. PLEASE ensure you test your music before you turn up. If your music doesn't work, there will be no restart. Check your music.

Please make sure that your CD is clearly marked with your Stage/Group name and the name of your track and its time length.

You can perform ONE solo piece or in ONE group piece. Unfortunately, we can no longer offer both.

The floor that you will be dancing on is a rock club dance floor – please be aware that it is even, but not perfectly clean (and a tad sticky, although Redeemer assure us they will do their upmost to make sure it is as clean as possible) and we advise you to take precautions when dancing – please wear footwear on this floor – be this ballet pumps, flats, heels or big stompy goth boots etc.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF FORMS IS: THURSDAY 31st May 2018. Any forms sent after this day will not be eligible. There will be no exceptions.
