I've been asked to photograph a small fashion show. I'm invited to see the facility beforehand in few days, whereas the actual event takes place in about a month. I can influence the setup such as spot lights a bit. What should I bare in mind in order to be able to capture good photos?
I have fast lenses but would rather stop down a bit for increased sharpness. I'd also like to freeze motion but have low noise (max ISO 166 would be nice). I'd prefer not to use on camera flash.
Angles? I'm thinking straight on from the end of the catwalk - I'd like to use longer focals such as 70mm or longer, however guests could get in the way. Could/Should I place myself higher up or are lower angle shots better?
I don't like using wide angles, but could be forced to do so if its too crowded.
Basically I'd like any input that can help me get my exposures right - I believe I will have some saying in the light, so tips on that would be appreciated as well. The spots, I believe belong to the facility and are not specific/chosen for catwalk.
This is the best photo of the place I can currently find - Ill take better reference photos and test shots while I'm there before the actual event:

My gear - K-30 and I plan on using 21mm ltd and 70mm ltd - also have Sigma 17-50 f2.8 and 70-200 f2.8, but I find the Sigmas to be slower once the light gets dimmer.
Oh and btw - the models will naturally be moving. Moving directly towards camera = scary (AF speed/accuracy).
