lol... brilliant... well it varies on venue, but always avoid direct lights, and adjust from using high iso and manual overide your settings to a high shutter speed and low aperture, then crank the exposure to anywhere from +3 to max.

Flash with a slow shutter speed works well as well for some ghostly effects of movement. If the stage uses harsh colours then shoot in monochrome in JPG with RAW as well if you can, but B&W helps as id doesn;t matter if they look grainy as it adds to the appeal.

Otherwise, play around and have fun

lol...cool! Well you won't have a problem if you do that already... oh..and don;t be afraid to get right in the performers faces either lol...also, use live view some times for up high shots or at angles you won;t be able to see without.... and get on your knees to take photos from a lower vantage point as it gives more focus on the looming subject that way... And when editing, I've found that auto leveling contrast and lightness settings helps punch out the low contrast.

I'll keep an eye out for your photos!
