FORM Dance Projects and Riverside Theatres presents

Sharp Short Dance

Venue	Lennox Theatre
Dates	15 November - 19 November 2016

Rapidly becoming one of the highlights of FORM Dance Projects’ annual calendar, Sharp Short Dance is growing year by year and unearthing Sydney’s finest young dance talent.

Over the season, more than 50 dance works will be created and performed by young dancers and choreographers aged 21 years and under. The festival inspires and educates young performers to strive for their own artistic excellence and encourages active participation in dance at all levels.

Works must be 5 minutes or less and winning performances are eligible for awards such as Most Innovative Choreography, Most Outstanding Male and Female Dancer and the Audience Choice Award. The heat winners will present their works as part of the Gala Final where great industry prizes can be won.

Registrations close Monday 17 October. DVD, YouTube and Vimeo submissions preferred.

N.B. Please do not send any payments with your booking form. Riverside will confirm your booking and then forward a tax invoice for your deposit. Bookings are made in strict order of receipt of booking forms.
RIVERSIDE WILL CONFIRM YOUR BOOKING
Riverside will confirm your booking and invoice the school for a non-refundable $125 deposit. Teachers receive complimentary seating on a 20:1 ratio (unless otherwise specified). Once you have paid your deposit, your booking is secure.
FINAL PAYMENT
You can request changes to student numbers up to 4 school weeks prior to the performance. We strongly recommend making the cut-off point for students to pay the school and confirm their attendance at around 5 – 6 weeks before the performance or workshop date, giving yourself plenty of time to confirm final numbers. Riverside will invoice you for the balance, payable 4 school weeks before your performance or workshop date. At that stage student numbers are final. Bookings cannot be held if your final payment is not received and the deposit is forfeited. An increase of numbers is possible after the final payment day and is subject to availability.
FINAL INFORMATION SENT TO SCHOOLS
A letter of confirmation will be issued instead of individual tickets if you are attending a performance that has been allocated as a schools matinee. For other general public performances, you will be issued with tickets which you will be required to collect from Box Office before the performance. Prior to your visit, we will send you detailed information via email to ensure you have a hassle-free excursion. This will include updating you on any possible changes to running times or more detailed information as it emerges from the rehearsal process. Please ensure you have given a valid email address on your booking form.
ATTEND AND ENJOY!
Seating at schools performances is general admission (unless otherwise specified) and schools will be asked to enter the theatre as a group. We advise arriving at the theatre approximately 30 minutes prior to your performance.
Please note all school bookings made within 4 school weeks of a performance date must be paid in full within 1 week of confirmation and are final. There are no refunds or changes to numbers or dates on these bookings. If you have concerns about meeting the terms and conditions, please contact us on 8839 3308.
