Artists Technical Rider
Note to Presenters: These technical requirements represent an auditorium under ideal
conditions. Be assured that the company will work within the limitations of your facility and
adapt their program accordingly. This may necessitate that certain show segments be modified or
deleted. The technical requirements listed were current at the development time of this guide
(January 2012). There might be slight variations in the technical requirements of the company, as
new acts are added and changes are made to the show a minimum of twice per year. The
company will contact you prior to the performance date to discuss its current needs and how
those needs are best suited to your venue.
THE COMPANY
Thank you for all your efforts to bring Cirque Zlva to your venue. Asian Artists Productions Inc/
Cirque Zlva represent the best of a time - honored tradition that began more than twenty -five
centuries ago. The company is recognized throughout the United States and abroad as the
premiere Chinese acrobatic touring company of today.
Cirque Zlva consist of approximately 25 - 30 performers and 2 technicians and stage crew. The
technicians and crew are primarily Americans or Chinese Americans fluent in English who will
have no problem communicating with personnel at your venue. However, the performers are
directed from the People's Republic China and are most likely to speak only very limited, if any,
English. The company's road manager also serves as the primary interpreter to the group. It is
important that any communications materially affecting the performance be given to the
company in writing so it can be translated and communicated accurately to the members of the
company.
Due to the nature of the acts and the possibility of injury the company may have to change the
order or content of acts, Please advise your technical staff that although very rare, technical
changes may need to be made up to the last minute to ensure the safety of the performers and the
audience.
The production director will arrive with the company to work with the local technicians and crew
in setting up necessary rigging and focusing lighting specials. The stage manager and the
acrobats will decide on the best position for each act. However, the final determination as to
where and/or whether the act will be performed on stage rests with the performer.
In China, the performers are used to doing everything themselves, and technical crews in the
United States will often rind this disturbing. The company members are fully involved in all
types of operations. They pack, unpack, load, repair and maintain all of their own equipment.
Please make your technical staff prepared for this work ethic.

STAGE AND FLOOR
The stage, wings, crossover, and hallways should be clear of all scenery not related to this
production. All these areas should be clean and safe. In all cases, the floor must be even, smooth,
and free of any obstructions, which might be hazardous to the performers. The stage and wings
should be swept and mopped prior to the company's arrival, mopped again before curtain and
during intermission.
Preferred: Approximately 44 feet wide by 36 feet deep is an ideal stage size. Rest assured that
the company will be able to adjust to smaller playing spaces by eliminating or adapting acts that
require a larger space.
The Tower of Chairs act requires an open height of 30 feet and can be performed on stage or at a
suitable place in front of the stage on the audience/ground level.
Crossover: Please note that it is essential to have a clear crossover space at stage level, either
upstage of the full stage blackout curtain or through a hallway directly behind the stage space.
There are some acts which involve audience participation, so during the course of the
performance the performers will need access to the audience. Steps will be required both stage
left and stage right. The stability of these step units is paramount to the safety of the performers
involved. If the stage is higher than wing level, steps are required both stage left and stage right
for the performers' entrances.
SCENERY
The company will use up to six scenic drops in addition to the local soft goods. Two additional
line sets may be used to accommodate flying acts. In all cases, performers will be flown by
company members and rigging will be approved by the company.
In cases where a fly system does not exist, flying acts will be eliminated from the performance.
A line set schedule is included in this guide. It is based on ideal dimensions.
You will be contacted by the technical director to discuss the line set assignments for your venue.
In all cases the company will need a Genie Lift or tall A -frame ladder.
LOCAL SOFT GOODS
The following is a list of soft goods required for the event.
4 - Pairs of flat black legs (soft), without pleats or fullness.
• Minimum size is 30' high and 12' wide, but it is preferable to have legs up to 32' in
height to accommodate the highest possible trims for both electrics and borders.
• 4 - Black borders 8' high and 50' wide. Border trim heights will be determined by the
company's stage manager at load -in.
a 1 - Full stage blackout drop at least 30' high and 60' wide. This drop can either travel or fly.
a The house main curtain may not be used in lieu of a show drop provided by the company.
Any scenic element may be cut from the program if it is determined to be necessary by the
company's road manager or technical director.
