Hi Mark
Glad you've sorted you're dilemma I thought it maybe of use to other dramatic and creative people to follow this link http://copyrightservice.co.uk/copyright/p01_uk_copyright_law which might help in finding answers to future copyright issues. Not just about owning their performance but also about documenting or notating their creations and copyrighting them for future etc.
Much Love xx

Well, I am not sure you can just assume that because someone is dancing in a public event they want to have their photo/video stamped on public places like websites, newletters, etc .

If you are taking photographs and recording an event with this intention, you need to make all participants aware and give them the choice to say 'no' if they don't feel confortable with it. Some people have a real thing about having their picture taken.

Usually most bellydancers are cool with it (as we are a bunch of show offs!!!) but you can't assume everybody is! You need to ask the host of the event to let the dancers know what you're intentions are.

I have photos and video footage of me all over the net and some of its not great but as a performer that's what you have to expect. Keep taking photos Mark and don't worry to much about it.

I may never have got the photo of me sweeping the floor at JOY in my posh beledi dress if you hadn't been ready with your camera and it makes me laugh everytime I see it.

Thanks Anne, just to reassure you, I took 314 photos at Jacky's Christmas hafla last Friday.

I remember that photo, haven't seen it in ages. I may still have it somewhere on my old computer; if so I'll have to dig it out. Twisted Evil

Was it Lubna's beads you were sweeping up when after she shed them all over the dance floor like an agricultural sprinkler system?
