Re: Looking for Performance Opportunities
You're in the right place to start looking, but, try not to commit yourself to too much your first year. Poles are ubiquitous and the camps nearly always welcome anybody who wishes to perform on them. Performance art is as likely to be spontaneous as not so bring your stuff, be prepared, and go meet people without expectation.Zozaroni wrote:I am a first time burner looking to join an art/performance group to be able to help out with putting on a good show for the people of Burning Man!!![]()

Re: Looking for Performance Opportunities
You may want to consider using the Spark collaboration tool. Overall though, I'd recommend ZaphodBurner's advice. In your first year, keep your focus on simply getting there (I say 'simply' but it's not as easy as it seems), surviving and thriving. If you get out there and acclimate to the climate (high altitude desert) and have energy and enthusiasm to spare, finding awesome people and projects to connect with will be easy. And that route is MUCH less stressful than struggling to keep up with a bunch of shifts and scheduled performances. However you choose to do it, good luck!

Re: Looking for Performance Opportunities
We had a pole at our relatively small camp and visiting people would put on a show for a drink. Something like that might not be the big stage you had in mind, but sometimes those "venues" produce the most lasting experiences and memories.

More music stages!!!
BURNING MAN FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES 2014 MUSIC LINEUP
Posted by Caveat Magister
For Immediate Release
Burning Man logoSan Francisco, California – April 1, 2014 (Burning Man) – The Burning Man Project today announced the music lineup for the 2014 Burning Man festival.
“We’re very excited about this year’s music lineup.” said Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, Burning Man’s musical talent coordinator. “2014 is one of the most ambitious lineups in our history, and puts Burning Man squarely in the ranks of other popular Summer music festivals such as Coachella, Bonaroo, Glastonbury and the US Festival.”
The Burning Man festival will showcase five concert venues of varying sizes spread throughout the event. Two venues will be reserved for smaller performances, two for medium sized performances, and one main venue will be placed just outside the man at the six o’clock road. “We expect the Denial and Anger stages to be more intimate, and have located those within the city close to the three o’clock and nine o’clock plazas. The Bargaining and Depression stages will be located on the open playa near the two o’clock road and the ten o’clock road.”
Kübler-Ross notes that the main venue, the Acceptance stage, is large enough to support a full production truss, with professional lighting and sound. “The audience grandstands will face the Man,” said Kübler-Ross. “We plan to disassemble the Acceptance stage itself after the Friday night performance to make room for the crowds to gather for the main burn.” Kübler-Ross also noted that the grandstands themselves would stay in place and serve as VIP seating for the burning of the man.
“Our five stages have something for everyone,” said Kübler-Ross. “We expect that, as people attend the festival for the week they’ll gradually move through all the stages before finally attending the last performance on the Acceptance stage Friday night. It is a very natural progression. We understand that some people may prefer to stay at a particular stage longer, but expect everyone to experience all five stages before the end.” Read more »
