PERFORMANCE TIPS
Putting together an entertaining show, for such a unique venue and the international audience that are to be found at Festival Sympathy of Euro parks, is no easy feat!
The following comments are designed to assist you in your future preparation:
When preparing your repertoire, remember to select music that is upbeat and fun
Be especially careful and realistic when preparing for younger performers!
It is vital that you arrive fully rehearsed to a level that is show ready; you may only get one chance to shine!
Concerning dance groups, the choreography must be adapted to your chosen music and to the different ages and ability of your performers
Timing is of the greatest importance; if your performers are not together on stage, then this can spoil the overall show
Spacing; make sure that you use the whole stage, and that lines are respected and kept straight
Make sure that your show flows; do not leave empty spaces on stage in between the ends of pieces. The stage should never be left empty, if you want to keep a captive audience
Stage presentation is as important as the choreography and music. Applying some simple tips will make a big difference:
Remember to smile, and your audience will enjoy it as much as you
Avoid fidgeting, scratching, chewing; talking etc…
Take as much care with exits as you would with entrances; don’t forget, you are still on stage!

Videopolis
The large auditorium including areas for the guests of the Hyperion Restaurant is matched by a gigantic high tech stage.
While Space Mountain without doubt is the focal point of Discoveryland the Videopolis is an impressive, huge structure too and catches quiet a few eyes – thanks to the impressive airship Hyperion that rests in its hangar high above the heads of those guests making their way into the building.
