Aerial Performers at Whistler Blackcomb Foundation Event
Our local sea-to-sky performing artists add flair to another great event.
As we close on another wonderful summer in Whistler, the Fall season creeps in and our outdoor street entertainment and performances come to a close. We begin to look ahead to what Fall and Winter delights may bring in the Sea-to-Sky event scene.
Emerging from a long 18 months of closures and shut downs, events are beginning to stir and see a glimmer of hope again. We’ve been left craving dimly lit ballrooms, crowds mingling, bands playing, dancing, entertaining you, squeals of delight and gasps.
We didn’t know it then, but 6th March 2020 would be the last time we performed for an audience of over 200 people for quite some time.
The annual fundraising event with the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation kicked off with the Winetastic event at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler. In the bubbles section of the room while you sipped on bubbly our bubble girl shrunk inside a life size bubble to dance and dazzle you.
Whilst you nibbled on cheese and sampled the endless variety of wines and craft beers, we took to the air to entertain you on our custom aerial pyramid apparatus which can support solo and double acts.
We have a variety of aerial apparatus to choose from and many organizers like to do an a la carte selection when deciding on apparatus.
From aerial silks, aerial hammock, aerial hoop/lyra, straps, pyramid we have you covered. We often recommend going with a mixture of options depending on your events theme and to keep your guests guessing.
Our portable aerial rig can be set up anywhere and does not need to fix to the floor or the ceiling. Our rig can be set up with 2-3 people in under 20 minutes. When we’re gone it's like we were never there. We can also decorate our rig to fit the theme or styling of your event with lights, flowers and much more.
When legendary local Whistler band The Hair Farmers take to the stage we pick up the tempo and as the dance floor fills we are dancing in the air alongside you. Our sequins are shimmering and the room grows louder filled with laughter and energy. The crowd has a different buzz, perhaps an effect from the wine tasting kicks in. Before we know it it's time to tear down and as the crowd begs for one more song from the band we secretly are hoping for one more ambiance performance nightcap as well.
The following evening brings a new flurry of excitement as we load our equipment into the gondolas and head to the top of Whistler mountain for the main gala event at the Roundhouse Lodge. Performing at the top of 1850m elevation we challenge you to find a venue we can’t make work.
For this Imagine 2121 gala event we customized our acts to compliment the events theme, costuming and layout. Our portable lollipop lyra was the perfect equipment to be performing in small triangular elevated window boxes. A circular ring that is attached to a heavy base is a wonderful option for smaller footprint venues.
As the crowds ascended the mountaintop in their futuristic themed outfits we took to the stage and performed ambiance sets whilst party goers mingled, sampled food and tasted the signature cocktail of the event. Ambiance sets are perfect to elevate the atmosphere and have something to entertain guests in the background while they are enjoying all aspects of the event.
Our roaming led butterflies greeted guests at the base of the spaceship and welcome them into the party. Our ground act offerings are perfect for events that want guest interaction alongside aerialists in the air. Our roamers work the crowd and mingle with guests taking pictures and breaking the ‘nobody on the dance floor’ ice leading guests to release their inhibitions.
When the lights fade, glitter, false eyelashes and decadent outfits are removed we are left with the memories of entertaining you and elevating your event for your guests to fondly reminisce over the next day and for years to come.
All the small touches can make a big impact on your event. Adding aerial performers to your event can give it that finesse you are searching for, leaving long lasting memories and chatter among your guests.
We love working with our clients and establishing relationships with them over the years as their events change and themes get more innovative and expansive.
Thank you Whistler Blackcomb Foundation for all your support we love working with you and the amazing things your events do for our community and beyond!
