Your Production Profile is a detailed description of a production you have available for touring. It is aimed to not only encourage presenters to buy your show, but give them a clear idea of what it will cost them and how they can market and support the show technically

Quick tips:

- use the ‘update’ button at the end of each tab frequently to save your data

- if you leave a field blank, it will not appear in the published version (ie no blank space)

- use the tab key to get to the next field quickly

- see a ‘presenter’ or ‘public’ view using the links at the top of the page

- if you are updating a production that was listed on the old version of Cyberpaddock, see guide here

A profile is divided into 8 sections or tabs:

General Information

This is a summary of key information that will form the front page of your profile. This will be the only information seen by non-registered users and other producers.

It features a short synopsis, a strong review quote and your ‘hero’ image. See here for details of adding assets.

Performance Information

A more detailed synopsis of the production as well as a YouTube link. It also outlines the production’s availability, duration and past seasons.

Personnel

Details of who was involved in the production’s creation and who will go on tour.

Fees

Details of remount fees, weekly fees and royalties.

Only the totals in these 3 areas will be seen by presenters.

Remount is the cost of preparing a production for a tour. This may involve some re-rehearsal, re-design, preparation of new marketing materials etc. It will be the same for any length of tour.

Weekly fee is the total cost of having the production on tour for a week. It does not include any touring costs, such as vehicle hire, fuel, flights accommodation or living away allowances. It covers wages and fees of the touring party and any company overheads.

Royalties are percentages of net box office income paid to personnel involved in the creation of the work.

You can also list a per-performance rate, a box office split rate and your basic contract requirements.

Marketing

Details of how a presenter can best market the production. Media reviews, marketing segments, sponsors and what marketing materials will be available. Samples of marketing materials can be uploaded as pdfs. See here for uploading assets.

Technical Specifications

This is the most complex section of the profile. It is designed to cope with very large scale productions, so some fields will not be relevant to small scale work. Have a look over this section and judge for yourself how best to represent your work. Note that you can upload your own version of tech specs as a pdf, but it is advisable to also use the relevant online fields. See here for explanation of the A to D technical ratings.

Crewing

List the crew you need the venue to supply here. It is divided into bump-in, performance and bump-out and you need to select the type of crew, the number you require of each and the number of hours.
