Australian Calisthenics Competition

March 2020 Update

With the rapidly changing situation in regard to Covid-19, I thought it was appropriate at this time to provide you with an update on our planning for Royal South Street’s 2020 Eisteddfod. Royal South Street Society will always put the health and well-being of our competitors, volunteers, audience and staff first and foremost. With this in mind we will continue to monitor developments and take advice from government and experts as to the actions we should take. Entries are now open for our disciplines and planning continues as normal for our competitions to open on 19 July. As per our General Rule 2.4 Entry Fees “Fees are non-refundable once entries close, unless for an extenuating circumstance or if the section is cancelled by RSSS.” Therefore should Royal South Street cancel a section or sections we would contact all affected competitors in regard to processing refunds. It has also been Royal South Street’s policy to treat illness as an extenuating circumstance and refunded entrant fees in those cases. Royal South Street Society will allow its staff to work from home where that is practical. This means that our office may at times be unattended. If you need to contact us please do so via email, and we will answer your question promptly. Our email is info@royalsouthstreet.com.au Please all take care. Best Regards

Tony Rowlands Business Manager

Babies, toddlers and children are not to be in the stage area at any time unless performing in the item. No prams or pushers are to be left in corridors at any time.

No non-performing children aged 12 and under are to be left unsupervised in the theatre at any time. All corridors, stairwells, entrances or building access areas are to be kept clear at all times.

All stage access, egress, fire escapes and exits, firefighting equipment areas, and access to prompt corner must be kept clear at all times. All large stage dressing or props must be carried to or from the stage via the stage lift. All other costumes and props must enter and leave the theatre via the stage door or Unicorn Lane. Access with these items from the main foyer will be refused. All valuables are the responsibility of the owner and are left in dressing rooms at their own risk. Back stage and coach passes (amendment to CV 2.5.1 to 2.5.2) HMT has strict backstage number limits and therefore dressing room and backstage passes will be allocated to each club using the following ratios: Dressing room:  Tinies and Sub-Juniors - One Pass for four participants  Juniors and Intermediates - One Pass for six participants  Seniors - One pass for eight participants  Coaches: Three coach passes (for registered level 1 and 2 coaches and registered assistants). Extra passes may be available where there are more than two teams, though this is at the discretion of the committee.  Stage Passes: for prop crews/assistants – these will be allocated on an as-needs basis upon request but will be restricted to numbers similar to Dressing room passes with a maximum of five per club. Note: Backstage passes do not allow access to the auditorium. 14: Stage dressing and props (read in conjunction with ACF: 1.1) Her Majesty’s Theatre has limitations in terms of space for storage of props and the added complexity of moving them from street level to stage level; RSSS request that Clubs keep the following in mind when planning their use of props and stage dressing. DEFINITIONS Stage dressing: props or scenery, modules, drums, ramps and platforms placed on the stage or behind the back-curtain line prior to the start of the item. Large props: props or scenery, modules, drums, ramps and platforms brought onto or placed on the stage or behind the back-curtain line during the item. Handheld props: small handheld items such as flags, swords, guns, stars, flowers, umbrellas, or items of a similar size/nature, including hand-held lengths of material stretched across the stage. Use of stage dressing and props at RSSS Non-minimal rules  Core items: Stage dressing and large props are NOT permitted.  Core items: Handheld props permitted, these may be placed on the stage area or behind the back curtain during the item if required.  Fancy items: Stage dressing, large props and handheld props all permitted. Minimal rules: Stage dressing, large props and handheld props all permitted. Stage dressing must be set and competitors ready to commence on stage within 4 (four) minutes, after which time the item will be announced and will commence. Time starts when the previous item has finished, and their stage dressing and props have been removed. Stage dressing and props must be removed in a timely manner at the completion of the item. Delays will not be tolerated.

Standard Steps – In previous years CV and RSSS have both provided sets of tiered steps for use during the competitions however usage was minimal and storage space prohibitive. RSSS no longer offers these steps but maintain that teams are not permitted to bring their own tiered steps, tiered ramps, tiered platforms or anything of a similar nature as there is not enough space at the theatre to accommodate them. Should a team wish to arrange a shared arrangement with other teams in their division, consideration to allow the use of a set of tiered steps or similar for that division will be considered. Please contact RSSS to discuss this option. Dimensions: stage dressing or large props must not exceed 3 meters in height. Preassembled stage dressing or large props whilst backstage must not exceed a footprint of 1.8m2 and no part of the large prop or stage dressing may protrude beyond that footprint. This rule will be strictly enforced. If a large prop or stage dressing is outside these dimensions the club/school will be requested to dismantle it. Large props or stage dressing that are assembled on stage (within time limits immediately prior to the performance of the item) are allowed to exceed these dimensions on stage. Please note: RSSS and HMT cannot guarantee space for every team equivalent to the footprint described above. RSSS and HMT reserve the right to limit the number or large props or stage dressing backstage at any time. • No items made of glass or ceramic are permitted on stage at any time. • All stage dressing or large props must be made to stand safely. If stage dressing or large props are fitted with wheels, they must be able to be locked. • Legs of flats must be hinged. • Staples must not be used on the stage area when assembling stage dressing or props. • If stage dressing or large props are unstable, the stage manager has the right to request that they not be used for safety reasons. • Persons other than registered team members are not permitted to hold stage dressing or props on stage. • If using guns of any kind as props, they must NOT be or look authentic. If a reasonable person thinks it looks like a gun, it is a gun. • Swords, knives etc. used as props, must be blunt and preferably made of wood or plastic. • Aerosol cans must not be used on stage. • Octopus straps or similar items are not to be used on stage dressing or props. • No talcum powder, resin or anything of a similar nature is to be used. • No flown scenery may be used. • No helium balloons allowed. 15: Stage Area:

A diagram of the proposed stage set up and dimensions will be available closer to the competition date at www.royalsouthstreet.com.au/competition/calisthenics. The pit area in front of the proscenium is installed for safety and is not a performance space. The area in front of the white line is not lit. Please do not proceed past this white line. 16: Sound, Lighting and Visual Effects:

Technical faults – see definition in ACF definitions 1.1 L. Should a technical fault occur the coach and stage manager in consultation should call for the item to be stopped. Once the fault is rectified, the team may repeat their performance as soon as possible, ie. it will not always be scheduled for the end of that section and could be immediately.

Lighting: a full description of lighting available and rules regarding use of lighting can be found at www.royalsouthstreet.com.au/competition/calisthenics/. Data projector: is available for use in all fancy item’s sections. Hired from RSSS. Clubs must supply their own operator and use a USB or a DVD. Presentations must

be formatted to play as a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation or formatted as a DVD. Audio may also be submitted on the same device as the PowerPoint presentation, DVD or USB but must be checked by a theatre technician during a booked plotting session. In addition, a separate copy of the music should be available as a backup. Smoke machine: can be hired from RSSS. No use of smoke machine allowed for Tinies. No bubble, snow or other type of machines are to be used. (see also ACF 1.1)

Music: This year RSSS asks that the main version of your music be provided on USB or CD. CDs must be named on correct side, advice on how to label USB devices will be provided to coaches closer to the competition. It is recommended that there be only one track per CD/USB. Multiple tracks cannot be played for one performance item. Back up music may be on CD or USB or another digital device (use of a phone or similar device could result in a poor sound quality). Electrical items: all leads, appliances, lights and stage property lighting for use on 240 volts within the theatre, must have a current safety compliance tag. This includes any electrical item used in the dressing rooms (eg. hair straighteners, curlers.) Batteries must be sealed. No single insulated cable is permitted to be connected to any theatre power source. This applies to all voltages including extra low voltage (under 32 volts).

17: Safety: The theatre technician and stage manager may prevent a planned performance if in their opinion technical safety is inadequate. Risk assessment forms (JSEA) are required for any performances using props that have any risk associated with their use including, for example, balls, ladders, wheeled items, etc. Provision for completing a risk assessment will be included with competition registration via MyStage. All patrons must observe directions or commands given by HMT staff, RSSS staff and RSSS volunteers. Streets adjacent to all entrances to the theatre are public streets and safety should be considered at all times. 18: Peace & Quiet Graceful Girl Entrants must be 18 years or over on the 31st December of the current year.
