Worldwide Escape Artist Relay 2009


This page provides more information for participants in the Worldwide Escape Artist Relay 2009.


Q. Where is the Worldwide Escape Artist Relay 2009 being held?

A. The Worldwide Escape Artist Relay 2009 is being held all over the world. Escape artists will perform escapes in many different locations.


Q. How can I be a part of the Worldwide Escape Artist Relay 2009?

A. If you are an escape artist, you can plan an escape for Saturday, October 24, 2009, and register for WEAR 2009. If you are some other kind of performer, or are interested in working as an assistant or as crew, find an escape artist in your area and offer your help. If you are a fan of the art of escape, look for a WEAR 2009 event near you!


Q. How much does it cost to register?

A. Registration for WEAR 2009 is free.


Q. Where should I perform an escape?

A. Escape artists in WEAR 2005 and WEAR 2007 performed in a wide range of venues. Some performers appeared in large stage shows at public events. Other performers appeared at schools or community halls, often as part of shows that included additional artists. Others performed escapes in the open air in public places for free. In the United States, Halloween has grown into a month-long holiday that provides many performance opportunities.


Q. How do I get publicity for my escape?

A. As WEAR 2009 draws closer, there will be a standard press release available from this site that individual performers can adapt for their escapes. Escape artists should send a press release and quality photos to their local media sufficiently in advance to generate interest. If you are inexperienced at publicity, please see the Teaching Table on Publicity by Dr. Wilson.


Q. What should I do to document my escape?

A. Participants in the Worldwide Escape Artist Relay should get witness statements from at least two witnesses who are not family members. Participants should strive to get good photos and video of their escapes as well. Witness statement forms are available from this website.
