3. Why are you asking for you insurance at such a late date?
3. The reason we are requesting this at such a late notice is because we have never had to show proof of insurance before for any of our gigs this brings new concerns to our organization and one which we as a collective will work proactivelly to remedy in the future. The MIA only recently asked for this information. They would like us to show proof of liablity insurance for the afore mentioned project.

4. Who will be stilting at this event?
4. The names of the stilter's involved in this project are. Anne Sawyer-Aitch, Nicole Amaris, Gaea Di'Ascoli, Sharon Dill, Tara Fahey, Soozin Hirschmugl, and Amy Taylor( costuming)

We are willing to sign waviers that state should anything happen to any of us performing we will not hold Barebones responsible in any way.

5. Where will you be performing?
5. We will be performing, " 3-D" outside in the green space to the rear of the MIA building. It will be located on the grassy space between the new Target wing and the 3rd Ave entrance. We the stilters will be at a min. distance 20 feet away from our audience at all times.

In the case of rain our performances will move indoors and will be performed on the Stage in the MIA auditorium. Again, all perfromers will be at a min. of 20 ft from any performer.

6. Is it possible to find insurance with someone else?
6. We are also looking into other possibilities for insurance at this time... Bedlam, Xelias Arial Company....but, as the time line is short are we are very concerned that we will run out of time. We would in future instances make sure to offer at least a 3 -6 month window for such decisions, as we value and honor both your time and your concerns regarding this matter.

7. Would Chicks be willing to compensate or help off set the expense of a legal contract or assist BB in paying for it's annual insurance policy?
7. Chicks on Sticks is also willing to offer financial support in the tune of $150 to Bare Bones for any legal questions/contracts they need to answer regarding this one time event. We also would like to support Bare Bones as a whole as it is an organization that all of us have worked with and lend our craft too on a regular basis.

For example the Como Zoo Fundraiser in 2006 which we assited in coordinating and as performers at to help raise money for the 13th Annual BB Halloween Show as well as many Halloween Shows.
