To ensure a smooth and successful performance, please consider the following setup requirements:
Performance Space: A quiet, well-lit area with enough space for the performance (approximately 3m x 3m for a solo performance). A stage or raised platform is ideal but not necessary.

Sound System (if required): For larger venues or outdoor events, a quality microphone and sound system may be needed. Please confirm if amplification is necessary, and I can work with your venue’s sound team to ensure optimal acoustics.

Power Supply: A nearby power outlet for the microphone and sound system (if applicable).

Seating: Comfortable seating arrangements for the audience, especially for intimate ceremonies or smaller events.

Rehearsal Time: If there are specific timing or coordination needs, a brief rehearsal or soundcheck before the event is recommended (typically 30 minutes to 1 hour).
