kodak direct positive kit and agfa scala

Hi,

I'm really sorry if this is off topic. Any directions to the appropriate
ressources would be appreciated. Here's the story.

I got refered to a dance school teacher who wants to present a
promotional slide show of her school before her annual show. Her budget
is shitty but I welcome the project which appears to be exciting. So
exciting that I suggested black'n'white for the gritty reportage arty
look. Of course, she fell in love with the idea and 5 minutes after
hanging up I said to myself that I've opened up my big mouth again! 

Since it will be shot inside the dance studio with natural light from
the windows, I'll need at least 400 asa. I have the following three
options :

- - Agfa scala rated at 400
- - Tri-X printed on mat paper and then copied on a slide
- - Kodak T-max 400 or 3200 with Kodak's direct positive kit

The Scala seems expensive and a bitch to process. I don't know where
they send it in Canada. I would appreciate some feedback on this film
though.

Making prints and copying them onto colour slide is time consuming (I
need 30 photos!)

The best solution seems to be the Direct positive kit. I need your help
and feedback here. I know this kit is designed for t-max 100 and tech
pan. I also know it could work with other films but how well does it
perform? What are development times, etc.

Sorry again for the off topic post. Please reply privately so bandwith
will not be cluttered.

Many, may thanks.
