Not that I know of, but there might be restrictions in some jurisdictions. The one we used was small and intended to be hidden inside of floral arrangements at a banquet or other event needing glitz.

You may not even need the cannon. A small leaf blower stuffed with confetti or eve a handful tossed by the genie. How about blowing confetti out of a tube (paper towel roll sized).

The confetti they loaded for me were about 1/2"x 1". I felt that 1/2" squares might have been better.

Does one need to be trained or certified to use a confetti cannon?

Thanks for the idea!]]> Sun, 22 Jan 2012 17:40:34 +0000 http://www.communitytheater.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5248&PID=27631#27631 Choreography, Dance & Movement for Theater : Appearing Genie in Aladdin http://www.communitytheater.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5248&PID=27625#27625 Author: David McCall

We had some old trunks "full of treasure" int the cave for the genie to hide behind until needed. At the point that the genie needed to appear we fired a very small CO2 powered confetti cannon that created about an 8' cloud of silver confetti that fluttered to the ground as the genie stepped out from behind a trunk.

The effect was perfect except that the cannon they sent us was defective and it didn't work very reliably. As a back-up we had a small sears 19.2 volt blower/vacuum that we stuffed the nozzle with confetti and used the blower mode to shoot the confetti That worked well as a backup. By the second night we wound up using both at the same time. That way we got a little extra in case the cannon failed and at least we got something if it didn't. At any rare, the confetti did the trick. The method of delivery will be the challenge. And of course the clean-up. Expect to find confetti around for at least months :-) ]]> Thu, 19 Jan 2012 13:34:36 +0000 http://www.communitytheater.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5248&PID=27625#27625 Choreography, Dance & Movement for Theater : Appearing Genie in Aladdin http://www.communitytheater.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5248&PID=27621#27621 Author: Kim L.

I am directing a middle school production of Aladdin and am using very simple staging. I need to get the Genie to appear on stage after Aladdin rubs the lamp. I was thinking of flashing the lights and having the Genie run to his spot on stage. But I didn't know if there was an old stage trick that could be used. If you have any ideas, please share.]]> Thu, 19 Jan 2012 10:19:24 +0000 http://www.communitytheater.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5248&PID=27621#27621 Choreography, Dance & Movement for Theater : Glee summer workshop- questions http://www.communitytheater.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4822&PID=25189#25189 Author: JoeMc

One other thing which nearly always is forgotten is the $ amount of the groups contrabution towards the grant. Normally this could be at least 10% upto 25% of the total grant requested. Which can be made up in kind or from the groups contibution.

This be in kind as such on the part of the group in the form of labour costs & whatever. This could be just making coffee, lunches or attending to opening or securing the venue, during work periods or for safety reasons @ the general going hourly rate, that would be expected to be charged for the same service & labour costs.

you will need some budget for set, even if the theater has stock platforms, there are expenses in getting things set up and safe, getting a fresh coat of paint on the floor, etc.

Are you paying rehearsal musicians? background music arrangements are great, but vocal work also requires fine tuning with an accompanist giving the correct notes for the singers to match.

I would suggest that you get a someone on board to help you develop the grant that is familiar with the needs of the theater, and their current capabilities.
