Theme: All that glitters
Old Hollywood Glamour
Rhinestones, glitter, diamonds & pearls. Big hair, big shoes & lots of drama. Think golden age of Hollywood with a burlesque twist.
What we are looking for
Safe & Entertaining
Performance value, stage presence & audience engagement. Tricks are cool but we look for how safe & entertaining the submission is versus how many tricks you are doing. We want to entertain our audience and create a memorable experience.
We value performance quality over quantity, group performances over solos, safety over all else.
what kind of acts
We are a pole based variety show looking for any style of act that can be used for the theme: pole dance, aerial acrobatics, standing acrobatics, burlesque, drag, chair dance, varying styles of dance & beyond!
PHILLY
A semi-permanent stage pole at approximately 9ft will be provided. There are two aerial rig points but the ceiling height is less than 9ft. All other equipment must be provided by the artist. The X-Pole sits approximately 3ft from the end of the stage. Based on seating arrangement & height of stage, floor work is not recommended.
WORCESTER
Anything but fire as the venue does not allow fire. We will provide 2 stage poles and an aerial rig. Any and all other equipment including, but not limited to, aerial equipment must be provided by the artist.
How we choose
The core crew chooses acts based on what will create a cohesive show. The overall flow of the show is important and we are looking for acts that add to the overall show. Video quality, high level tricks & performance experience are not required. We are looking for acts that work within the planned show regardless of performer level or experience.
We value safety above all else but we also highly value the entertainment of our audience. Audience engagement is a huge bonus.
Video Submission
A video submission is required. A low quality video of high quality and engaging performance is preferred over a high quality video of a bunch of tricks thrown together.
