Good Entertainment is something that provides joy and happiness to the audience. Some examples include watching a movie, reading a book or comic, playing sports, and listening to music.
To make sure that your event’s entertainment is a hit, consider the underlying theme or goal of the event. This will help you pick out the right kind of entertainer to hire.
Video Mapping Dancers
In this jaw-dropping stage show, dancers are surrounded and immersed in an image that digitally projects around them. Whether it’s sparks appearing to fly from their fingertips, giant fire-breathing dragons appearing in the sky or buildings that ripple and shift, the visual impact is truly stunning. Designed by top animation designers, it’s the perfect act to energise and hold audiences at product launches, gala dinners or corporate events. It can even be customised to add a business logo upon request.
This dance performance linking dance and projection mapping aims to create a poetic universe where the virtual environment becomes the dancer’s canvas, creating timeless poetry based on fun and fantasy. It combines traditional flamenco with contemporary languages and proposes a staging that offers a new look at the language of dancing by means of projection mapping technology.
This astonishing 3D video mapping presentation brings together a cube that stands alongside the stage and an LED screen background to produce a visually captivating performance that will fascinate audiences of all ages. Our acrobatic dancers synchronise their movements with the contrasting animations to create an immersive voyage that will take spectators into the depths of space and beyond. With a buzzing soundtrack, it’s guaranteed to get hearts racing and keep everyone on the edge of their seats.
Space Creatures
Good entertainment helps people unwind from the rigors of life. It can be hard to take a break when you’re busy chasing the next promotion or higher salary, but life goes by quickly and you need to enjoy it while you can.
In Good Entertainment, Byung-Chul Han examines the notion of entertainment and its contemporary ubiquity. With infotainment, edutainment, servotainment, and confrontainment all vying for inclusion, entertainment seems to be the new paradigm, perhaps even a credo for being—and yet it has always had inescapably negative connotations in the West. With the ubiquity of entertainment, it can seem that passion is a lost art, but this doesn’t necessarily have to be true.
Wind-Up Dolls
Wind-up dolls are handheld toys that are powered by a clockwork motor. As you wind them up, they move and perform actions. These toys are a great way to help kids understand cause and effect.
This particular tin wind-up is an Universal Monsters version of a character that was licensed to Robot House, which in turn contracted Billiken Shokai (famous for their high-quality vinyl tokusatsu kits and figures) to manufacture the toys. The toy is a beautiful example of how the company was able to turn the license into a toy that stands out from others.
If you want to see more examples of their work, be sure to check out the Bulls i Toy Facebook page. While this series is Walking Dead themed they make all sorts of fun toys including Chibis, Dog Tags and Tokens. These toys are recommended for ages 3 and up. They contain small parts that could come loose and pose a choking hazard.
Human Topiaries
Since Pliny the Elder, ornamental plants have been shaped in gardens, a practice known as topiary. A gardening technique in which greenery is sculpted into clearly defined shapes, topiary is often considered a form of art as well as horticulture. It is a way to evoke emotions or create the impression of space in landscapes, while also hiding or concealing undesirable aspects.
While simple geometric options such as spheres and cubes are popular, topiaries can be more elaborate, with figures of humans or animals crafted out of greenery. Topiary can serve as a centerpiece in a formal garden, add to the charm of a cottage garden with whimsical animal shapes, and be the focus of a children’s play area or zoo. It can even be used in a commercial garden to draw attention to a product or attraction.
Busch Gardens Tampa, for example, has a large topiary garden with trees and plants in the shape of animals, birds, people, and other characters. A real-life topiarist featured in Errol Morris’s documentary Fast, Cheap and Out of Control works at Green Animals, a topiary garden outside Providence, Rhode Island.
One of the more interesting uses for topiary is in the world of board games. Several companies have created topiary versions of popular game pieces. These topiary meeples have a unique flair that sets them apart from standard game pieces. For example, Renegade Meeples has a topiary meeple in a wheelchair. It is a nice touch that shows that the company understands the importance of representation.
Bubble Artists
A bubble artist is an expert at using soap bubbles to entertain and amaze. They use their technical knowledge to create stunning displays of art and science with a wide range of props and tools. They can perform a variety of acts, including bouncing bubbles, floating bubbles, and even millions of tiny bubbles. Their unique talents have earned them acclaim at the National Museum of Science and Technology (Ottawa), Pacific Science Center (Seattle), and Singapore Science Centre.
For centuries, bubbles have been a popular subject of artistic expression. Early depictions often feature children chasing and attempting to catch giant bubbles. For example, the 1574 painting by Cornelis Ketel depicts a husky putto, or cherub, blowing bubbles. Unlike many other still-life paintings of the period, which featured busts, flowers, and skulls, the bubbles in this piece are a sign of joy and hope.
Today, bubble artists like Deni Yang and his sister Melody travel the world, sharing their talent with audiences of all ages. Their shows are a spectacle of pure delight and entertainment, combining juggling, pantomiming, clowning, and artistic manipulation of soap bubbles.
A bubble artist’s show can be customized to fit the venue and audience, and to match the theme of the event. For example, a wedding bubble artist may choose to decorate their wands with the couple’s initials or their names. They also strive to establish a clear line of communication and follow a tried-and-true booking process for optimum client satisfaction.
Planetariums
A planetarium is a theatre devoted to popular education and entertainment in the fields of astronomy and space science. It is traditionally constructed with a hemispheric domed ceiling that serves as a screen on which images of stars, planets and other celestial objects are projected. The term may also refer to institutions that operate such a theatre or the specialized projector employed.
Historically, planetariums opened up the famous “ivory towers” that scientists were accused of hiding from society by providing immersive experiences that could never be replicated with just a blackboard or textbook. Today, most large planetariums are part of a science museum or other type of specialty facility and serve the educational needs of their communities.
In addition to the educational programming that is the mainstay of most planetariums, modern HYBRID domes often supplement their science programs with pure entertainment based on light, video and music. The trend, especially for larger theaters with multiple daily shows, is toward total computer automation of the program that combines visual display, cued music and sound effects, and prerecorded narration.
There are also many home planetarium options available. For instance, the Homestar Original / Star Theatre by Sega Toys can be expanded with additional cards showing different celestial bodies. The package includes instructions, two slide discs (one with labels and one without), a stand, three AA batteries and a 3.5mm aux cable.
