The Outer Rim Guilds presents 'The Art of Lightsaber Choreography'.  This workshop is designed to demonstrate stage combat techniques using lightsabers in choreographed stage combat settings. The skills learned in this class can also be applied to work in theater, video or movie productions. The workshop will begin with the basic forms of stance, movement, defense and attacks used for staged combat. The focus of the workshop is to replicate the fighting styles seen in the Star Wars movies, but it will also teach students how to prepare their own fights in the future. We will also discuss costuming, weapons and prop design as they are a part of each production we put together. The workshop will include fight demonstrations showing the finished product.

The magical worlds of Miyazaki come to life in the Miyazaki Madness Movement Show!

See your favorite characters perform aerials, parkour, acro, dance and other amazing feats in this Movement Show inspired by your favorite Miyazaki films!

Paul St. Peter talks about the vocal adjustments and character choices he has used to create some very frightening voices! His portrayals of XEMNAS (Kingdom Hearts), and NINE TAIL FOX (Naruto), have chilled many a spine, and the terrifying YAMMY RIYALGO (Bleach) is a study in pure menace. Paul will demonstrate his techniques in a clear, simple manner that will allow the fans to feel they are part of the creative process. Then he will ask for volunteers from the audience to rise and frighten everyone with their own vocal creations. Let’s all have some scary thrills!

• Do not bring any reference materials when you sign up. Please hold onto them until your designated pre-judging time.
• We suggest not wearing your contest costume at sign-up in order to keep your outfit as much of a surprise as possible for the convention's audience.
• If you are doing a cosplay skit/performance and have any audio that you want played, you must bring the audio in MP3 format ONLY on a USB Flash Drive and present it at signup. If accepted, it will then be copied for OMNI FANDOM EXPO's use in the competition. Note: entrant takes all legal responsibility resulting in any damage or legal fees associated with any media presented/copied for use at OMNI FANDOM EXPO.

• Filename must contain underscores (_) instead of spaces ( ). Again, do not put spaces between words, use the underscore.
• No special characters allowed (*&%!"', etc...).

Entering As Walk-On Only:

Yes, you may enter the contest as a walk-on! Walk-on Only (meaning no pre-judging) costumes will ONLY be considered for all non-craftsmanship awards. 
IMPORTANT: If you enter as a Walk-On only and do not participate in pre-judging, you will not qualify for Best in Show or any craftsmanship award!

CONTEST GENERAL RULES AND GUIDELINES:

• ENTRIES: One entry per person. Cap of 100 entries taken. Limited Late Registration will be available if space permits. We reserve the right to refuse additional entries.

• All  skits / performances may not exceed 1 minute 30 seconds. The MC (Master of Ceremonies) or Contest Host narration/introduction will not count towards the performance time.
• “Cosplay” aspect to show that you can not only look the part of the character, but also act the character as well. The judges should believe that you are your character - "suspended reality". This aspect is to demonstrate that you know your character inside and out.
• Any presentations with stunts, extreme, or shocking performances must be approved by the Cosplay Coordinator before the event. Failure to do so may result in disqualification.
• Any eligible costume that wishes to compete for craftsmanship awards must participate in a preliminary costume judging. Any costume not taking part in preliminary judging will not qualify for Best in Show or any craftsmanship awards. No make-up times will be allowed.

• Models are allowed, but the costume/prop fabricator must be present for the costume to qualify for awards.
• Again, Sponsored Cosplay Guests are disqualified from entering the Masquerade Costume Contest for the fairness of all contestants.
• Finally: Please remember that the purpose of this show is for fun and entertainment. It's to celebrate everyone's creative inspiration, ability, and passion for this beautiful art form. Please do not get so caught up in the idea of winning an award that you forget that there's an audience watching you, or the other contestants waiting for their moment on stage, or the staff who is producing the contest itself. This is for everyone's enjoyment. Also, many of the OMNI FANDOM EXPO Staff have been in masquerade contests themselves, so we know how it feels! Thank you for being part of this awesome fan event, and enjoy!
