Finances

Workshop presenters and directors of groups larger than 12 performers will get free weekend passes, as will fully-paid acts. Solo artists or small groups (less than six performers) working on a profit share or free basis may request free passes.

All other performers must purchase a weekend pass for the event at the special performers' rate. This is how we fund the festival. Partner and family tickets will be at full price.

DFOV will attempt to pay reasonable fees to professional performers, but we are not able to guarantee a performance fee for all acts. Our alternative is to share a dividend of up to 50% of net festival profits among all acts that have asked to be on the profit share agreement. The organising committee determines the profit share amount allocated to each act as we in good faith can estimate as fair. Some performers do not ask for a fee - they do it for the enjoyment and the experience.

Please choose one finance option:
blank I/We request a guaranteed performance fee as follows: Our total package fee for the festival is $ for up to performance brackets of minutes each PLUS workshops of minutes each
blank I/We accept a profit share arrangement. We are available for performance brackets of up to minutes*
blank I/We (the performers) do this for fun, so as long as we get reduced price tickets you don't need to pay us. We are available for up to brackets of up to minutes*
* The maximum bracket time unless otherwise negotiated is 30 minutes. We may reduce this period further if we find it necessary.
