I've recently taken over the management of the tech department at my venue, and I'm looking to update our tech spec to include things like room occupancy limits - specifically for our stage area so we can definitively say yes or no when, for example, a community group asks if they can put 200 kids on stage at once.
Does anyone have any insight on how to calculate such things? I've used this calculator to get a number that sounds sane, though I'd like to understand the working behind it so I can verify it. I've found this PDF helpful, but I confess that some of it's gone over my head and I'm unsure which room occupancy factor I should be using (as the guidance offered is focused on audience rather than performance).

Thanks J, that doesn't directly answer my question but obviously bears considering.
The two main points of understanding that I'm struggling with are the following:
Occupant Density Factor
Exit Capacity
