Re: logistics nightmare?
Andre,
Here's a somewhat simpleminded idea that might work:
Let us suppose that a largish room could be had some
where (not totally dissimilar to the place you played in
last week, but maybe a little more squarish in shape).
4 performers could set up at one time in opposite
corners of the performance space (with the audience
in the middle) and each play his/her set in turn (with
the audience turning their chairs to reorient themselves
to each new "stage."
4 players at 40-45 minutes each without between-play
setup time could do a 3 hour concert.
To do an all-day affair with 8 (or even 12 for a real
marathon summit) just continue to do all the setups
4-at-a-time (therby offering some longer intermissions
for food and other requirements to the audience).
An interesting by-product could be the possibility of a surround-sound
group
"jam" to finish off each series of
4 players.
This may strike some as totally lame...but hey, it's just
an idea. Many communities around the area have these
"black Box" performance spaces (or at least a few fairly underused
theatrical-cum-warehouse-cum-artspaces).
