Photography and Filming at the Festival or Training

We ask all participants to respect our policies that there should be no photography from participants of other participants unless their express permission is given.

You also accept that we will also have our own professional photographers who will be capturing film and still frame for our promotional purposes – they are instructed not to intrude on participants and would only film those with express permission in workshop spaces (limited to a few workshops and announced in advance) and some wide-angled shots of larger groups (dancing) – people who would like to be edited out of group photos can place one of the small red badges provided on themselves so we know what is okay to use.
