Corporate Party Entertainment Ideas

Corporate Parties require special attention. You want to amaze and entertain, but you need to ensure your message and brand communication remains clear.
With so many entertainers to choose from how do you decide what to hire? Walkabout, magic, comedy, games, street acts, animals creatures, cabaret. The list can seem endless, but often unfortunately the feeling can be that its all been seen before.

We can help with ideas 

Have two elegant party hostesses greet your guests with handbalance and fire eating, setting the tone of the evening with a display of strength, control and daring.

Mirror suit dancers can offer a spectacular walkabout performance.

Ground based flame lamps can illuminate this acrobatic art with an ethereal glow and add to the ambiance of the entrance.

Fibre optic faerie wands can be used to add a colorful glow to the performers. Softly interacting with the parties guests, this ambient display of physical skill and character is sure to delight.

We have other acts and connections with top quality performers in the industry. Let us know what else you need and we can find it. Aerial silks, aerial hoop, handbalance artists, dancers, roving acrobats, LED light shows, belly dancers and more.

 

Spark up the night with some unusual entertainment

Event attendees have often seen tribute bands, painters, drummers, stilt walkers. However most are surprised to see fire indoors. It’s unusual, edgy, powerful and immediately grabs the attention.

A 1-2 minute burst of upbeat fire performance can dazzle the guests at the beginning of the night. This teaser, set to an upbeat big band 20’s jazz soundtrack, can be followed after the food and drink by a full feature act as a finale to the nights entertainment.

 

Tell us your vision

When the desire is to reinforce an existing brand message often a bespoke creation is called on.
We discuss clients ideas, themes and requirements in detail, going over the venue, audience demographic and aim of the event.

Taking this brief we create a proposal, often with several scalable options, outlining where we see the best potential use of our artists, directors and effects to highlight the desired message.

 

Once we have an agreement on the show direction soundtracks are mixed and edited to suit with previews available for feedback.

Artists and crew are cast, rehearsals booked, costumes modified or created from scratch depending on the requirements.

We’ll arrive on the day ready to tech and co-ordinate with light and sound techs to ensure optimal visual and auditory impact is achieved.

From there on a client can sit back and enjoy the experience.
