See what you can do with available lighting. Go there initially with a point-and-shoot, turn off the flash, and snap a lot of photos. Bring your light meter! Take lots of readings. Back home, go back over the photos and see what is interesting, and what you'd do differently. Do some test exposures with your camera and film under similar lighting conditions, and see how it handles reciprocity.
Then finally go and do your final shoot.
