General Requirements and Presenter Fees
Audience and Space Requirements
Grade Level: Elementary, Middle, High, Adult, Families.
Size: Mr. Wolf prefers audiences of 300 or less.
Space: Mr. Wolf is flexible. But Indoor is preferred with access to move through the audience; “Stage” area 8′ x 10′ minimum. Presentation space should provide as much intimacy and quality acoustics as possible given the size of the audience. Please take care to eliminate any background noise (buzzing lights, humming ventilation, intercom announcements, bells, etc.) K-5 grades: Prefer students seated on the floor unless seating is fixed. 6th grade and up: Students may be seated in chairs. Libraries, media centers, theatres, band/choir rooms are preferred due to their intimacy and acoustics. Elementary School café-toriums can work fine for large crowds of Elementary Schools (seated on floor).
Multiple Workshops: If presenting a series of workshops/presentations for smaller groups, Mr. Wolf prefers to stay put in one particular space while the students come to him.
Prop Requirements
One 6’ foot long table. Two armless chairs (sturdy enough to stand on). Dry-erase (white) board or Flip Chart on easel.
Tech Requirements
