Come
into the alchemist's laboratory to watch the transformations of these unpredictable
and ephemeral creatures.
Like
us, each bubble is born, lives and then is no more.
As
well as bubbles inside bubbles, bouncing and dancing bubbles, smoke bubbles
and square bubbles you'll see glowing bubbles swirling with every colour
of light and a shimmering, undulating bubble mirror as high as the ceiling.
You
might even find yourself inside a bubble.
Live
improvised music forms an essential part of Conan's shows. Bubbles
are inherently unpredictable and so the performance is always improvised.
Live music reacts to the bubbles and intertwines with Conan's improvised
performance weaving an enveloping web. Musical lineup varies according
to client preference and availability of musicians. For example solo 'cello
or clarinet and flute. I am also happy to work with your musicians.
Technical
requirements.
Ephemera
requires a theatre or similar venue.
Lighting:
Generic
stage lighting plus 5 or 10 specially focussed lights is adequate. If possible,
more sophisticated lighting is desirable.
Sound:
Depends on the musicians used for each show. At most 3 microphones and
3 direct inputs.
Staging:4
tables approx 800-1200mm high and 600-1200mm across, preferably round.
Bump
in time:
4-6 hours, if necessary this can be reduced with detailed planning.
Atmosphere:
Air
conditioning should be turned off as it tends to dry out the air. Exessive
air circulation due to open doors or vents also needs to be avoided.
Smoke:
A
fog machine is used in the show so smoke detectors need to be switched
off.
Water:
It
helps greatly to have backstage access to a sink for preparation before
shows.
Big
Screens: For large audiences (>500) closed-circuit close up video
onto big screens is recommended.

Conan if you require more specific information.
